Trip miles: 421
Daily miles 421
A couple of observations:
- Living in NYC or right on the Atlantic Ocean you don't fully appreciate the battles of the Civil War, since they happened further inland. Although I've read about them in history books I didn't know how close Gettysburg is to Antietam and the fields of the Shenandoah Valley.
