“walking shoes” for the eagerly awaited Gettysburg tour later in the day.
At Gettysburg, the only hope of seeing part of the beauty and history offered here, is to take a bus tour. The manager of the “Sightseeing for Tourists” was nearby when we inquired about available tours, and saw the problems involved in boarding the wheelchair onto a bus. He handed us four complimentary tickets to board the “Tram” leaving in 30 minutes. This tour was a most informative and enjoyable one. The “Tram” is an open train, from which our Super 8 camera captured many sights along the main streets of Gettysburg. Indeed the camera was not neglected during the entire day.
In the months to come, on a cold wintry night, we are looking forward to the time when we all get together in comfortable chairs to view the movies and relive Pickett’s march on that July 1863 day from the site of the Robert E. Lee Statue to the “high water line”, the rock wall which was the goal of some 7,000 Confederate troops, and to which only a very small number of men lived to tell the story of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Indeed we enjoyed the seven-day, 1400 miles traveled and we soaked in hot showers, and let restaurants along the route do all our cooking and dishwashing. The trip to Sperryville from Gettysburg took about three hours. It was just about dusk when we pulled into the driveway that wound its way to home.
