Hit the new visitor center at Gettysburg. It seems to be a sort of partnership between private and government. It makes for a nice visitor center, since it is not funded by the government, but there are more things to pay for! The park is still free.We watched a movie and saw the "Cylcodrama", but after the number of visitor centers we have been too, we could almost recite the high points from memory. The weather was perfect, sunshine, but cool.
It
was really something to drive along the battlefield and see the massive battle lines formed against each other. Sad war against ourselves. Very destructive, as war technology improved dramatically, but tactics did not, which created huge casualties.Leaving Gettysburg, we drove to Amish country, staying near Lancaster. However, we decided to stop at Good and Plenty for dinner. The name pretty much says it all, just understated. After the homemade bread, with whipped butter, apple butter, and chow-chow (bean salad), we got into the meatloaf, fried chicken, ham, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, butter noodles, then came the ice cream, cheesecake, shoofly pie, cherry pie, rice pudding, strawberry rhubarb......GOOD and Plenty!
In fact some of us ate so much that we did not feel good! We all groaned our way to the Old Mill campground for the next two nights.
