<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 4516405, member: 74863&quot;]My wife and I went to the Gettysburg reenactment years ago. My car died turning onto the parking lot. The guy was yelling me to move it and I told him to push but he refused. I got the fastest tow I think I&#039;ve ever had. I needed a new alternator. My BMW had no warning so we never made it to the reenactment. Been to Gettysburg several times. It&#039;s positively wonderful considering the history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before my knee surgeries my wife and I did the 12.2 mile hike through the battlefield. Incredible! Absolutely Incredible.</p><p><br /></p><p>We parked at the old cyclorama and walked down the Union lines passed all of the monuments. Through the woods and you end up at roundtop. You finally get to the Rebal lines and back to Pickett&#039;s charge. Lots of other good stuff in between of course. From Pickett&#039;s charge you hike across the battlefield as the Rebal forces did. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is no place to hide, not even a slight depression or a ditch. All a soldier could do was hide behind a dead body. About half way I stopped and used my imagination. I felt like I was in the battle. I could smell gunpowder. I could hear cannons on both sides being fired. I broke out in goosebumps when I heard&nbsp; bullets whizzing past my head. I&#039;ve never experienced anything like that. My wife couldn&#039;t believe I had goosebumps.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was in late July so it was 90 plus with higher humidity. Sweating was normal and we were both wet. It was an experience I&#039;ll never forget and I understand what those 5,000 men went through. The history is incredible.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can do it I fully recommend it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
