Hey folks! R.G. here. Boy, do I have a lot of stuff to tell you guys! Well, first off I went to Gettysburg yesterday! I rode up with the barkers and a caravan of other cars. We stopped at the visitors center first to watch a show and then a cyclorama thing that was a AMAZING. It was a painting the size of an IMAX screen that stretched all the way around the room in a complete circle. There was fake terrain that ran up to the painting, and it was so well done you could not tell where real became fake! The painting was painted there just after the civil war, and was said to be so realistic that the veterans of the war wept when they saw it. Well from then on we went on a tour of Gettysburg. We went to a ton of battlefields, including "Little round top", "Devils den", and a lot of others. Devil's den was probably my favorite. Devil's den is a humongous pile of rocks that are about 50 feet tall or more in some places. Underneath them are a span of tunnels that can be 2 feet high or 6 feet. It is an amazing place! Well after that we visited other assorted places, and then we split up to head on home. The family I was with went back to little round top to see the monument to the 20th Maine. After that we headed back home. I took my camera and was planning on getting a lot of good pictures, but a slight problem took place. The only batteries i had were half dead ones and my camera is really old, and doesn't work well unless it has full power batteries. I kept running out of power, and the camera wouldn't take good pictures. But i did get some videos for you all and some pictures. Also, I took a trip to D.C. this morning. I went to the library of congress, American history museum, etc. It was A ton O fun! I did get pictures, and i believe you will like them! Enjoy!
