GDG- R/T trip suggestions - OT

[Cooke1863]

Hi, Tom,
would the CSA retreat be a tour to consider, or Gettysburg Day 3 in the morning and the CSA retreat to Williamsport and Falling Waters in the afternoon? Combining the two may be too ambitious, now that I think of it. Perhaps you can drive to Gettysburg and immediately out to Fairfield, Jack's Mountain, and then on through Finksburg and Hagerstown to the fords across the Potomac. The Gettysburg Foundation (formerly Friends of the National Park at Gettysburg) ran a tour of this type, and the guides were LBGs Dr. Charlie Fennell and Mike Vallone, both of whom were excellent.
Just a thought.
