Yet Another Way to See Gettysburg....

The Waltons and their friend, Bill, from Iowa and Georgia respectively are making the trek along the180-mile route from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia called the Journey Through Hallowed Grounds .  This may seem like a standard summer excursion to most of us by automobile or motorcycle. But, to see the countryside and local sights by bicycle? Well, that takes lots of discipline and endurance! (They did manage to fit in a Segway tour on Sunday afternoon.)

You have our admiration and respect for doing something that most of us will never accomplish in this lifetime.   Don't forget to fill us in on your amazing travels after your stop in Fairfield, PA!

Their next destination?  The Antietam Battlefield.  Laura laughed when she asked about how long I thought it would take her and her gang to get there. "Maybe an hour and a half?" I guessed.  She laughed and politely reminded me that would be by car. 

I did a quick search on the internet and located a great site that shows  suggested routes to take by bike that avoid busy, major highways.  For all you cyclers out there, it's well worth the look.
