At 5 am it was 50 F outside and we had a very wonderful sleep.
Yesterday afternoon we went to the Lincoln Train museum and we both enjoyed the presentation here, only 5 dollars each for seniors , and we figured it was well worth the price.

We enjoyed a few videos on the way in and watched the funeral train display , that was interesting and enteratining.
Then into the simulated funeral train. Now this was cool. When the video began the train car rocked and rolled like real train, including the sound of the old steam engine and rough tracks on occasion .

Now to check out the train displays, interactive and quite well done.
Now today, Thursday, we got up to frost on the car windshield ,
Our plan is to secure the coach and head down the road for 8 am to S & S Rv to get the vibration in our coach checked out.
Only 2 miles away and we were there . George took our coach into the shop and they began checking all the universal joints, hanger bearings. brakes and the differential, replacing the fluids as well., Everything looked good and no issues there, Glad that this was all checked out and now we (at least I ) can sleep better. We were out of there by 1 pm and our check book 5 hundred dollars lighter. But in our minds well worth it! For a peace of mind. We still have slight vibration but do not have a clue where it is coming from. But at least these issues have been checked out.
They have a nice dog here that loves Suzie (Zues) is his name a very playful guy he is.

Now at 9am and they are taking care of things in the shop so we headed on out to drive the rest of the Battlegrounds just because we had the time.
So many battle grounds and so many Battles fought here in 3 days The Confederates and the Union American soldiers and over 50,000 casualties . Such a tragic battle this was . So much blood shed.

we stopped here at this place

Mind you the memorials all through this area are amazing. In reality if we stopped to read every single one we would be here for a week or more. This driving tour is 24 miles long.

| wagons and cannons everywhere |
Now to the Soldiers National Cemetery. A sobering place to see. This was also The site where Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.
So many solders are buried here and so many unknown ones as well . most were buried by the state they were from . Like this one below.
This is one part of American History that we did not know about and really not sure what to think about it other than an awful lot of deaths of American soldiers. fighting for what they believed in.
We got back to our campsite just after 1 pm, And hooked up again, now to relax in the afternoon sunshine outside, Temps into the mid 60s. and some sunshine , This we can take, enjoy our e-readers and a nice Happy Hour.

it was very nice out here for a couple of hours

Soon it was time for supper. So I preheated our oven heated up a couple of Cornish Pasties and some gravy to go with a tasty salad.
 |
| love these pasties |
 |
| little gravy and was excellent |
We did get some things taken care of today, and more sights enjoyed here in Gettysburg , Some sunshine and a relaxing afternoon was wonderful, Would love to come back again and check out more, so much to see here.
We back on the road in the morning moving a bit further south, just because we can.
Thanks for taking the time to drop on by. Hope you enjoyed your day as well.
