Jim:

Actually:  I am about 25 miles from Gettysburg.  I am assuming you are using
IP-Geomapping to find that ;-)  They probably have my IP registered around
there, but my actual location is much closer (If you want the technicalities
of all this, feel free to email me privately).  

I am really close to Gettysburg :-)

I get there fairly often, except during late June - late July, as there are
just too many people for my taste.  When I can have the park to myself, I
tend to avoid the park during tourist season.  Early spring and late autumn,
no one is around in Gettysburg.  It is awesome :-)  Of course, nothing is
more beautiful than a fresh snowfall in Gettysburg, if you don't mind
walking when they close the roads.  

Thanks
Andy

Thanks Andy.. 

I see you are between Reading and Harrisburg. 

That means you are about 90 miles from GB... 

Do you get down there often? 

I am about 180 miles from GB.

You are very correct.  I was just responding to your statement "I am trying,
TRYING to understand the thought process about this.." 

Unfortunately:  I think as long as the dollar makes the world go around and
you have 2 million people a year visiting Gettysburg, these battles are
going to continue.  It is unfortunate that it comes down to that, but don't
think it will change anytime soon.

Thanks
Andy

Andy, 

I agree that's it probably the ANSWER to it. But.. 

How can we ignore, or THEY in this case the developers ignore the fact that
its hallowed ground.. Man this isn't a FUN area.. It's an area of
Remembrance, of sacrifice, of loyalty, of courage, of honor, of dedication
to duty, God and Country......... 

Maybe the answer is well education ??? 

That's an over simplification I realize. But I don't have any other answers
then that..

With 2 million visitors a year, I don't think it ever is going to stop until
people stop coming to visit the battlefield.  People see 2 million visitors
and instantly see $$$$$.  

Thanks
Andy

Dear Tom, 

Ok a deep breath here.. I realize I am "preaching to the choir" but man
when, where or if ever is this going to stop? 

I don't understand this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I am trying, TRYING to understand the thought process about this.. 

Look I know the area needs jobs. Ok that's a given... But where does the
encroachment on this historic place, this hallowed ground stop? 

This is getting really scary. Especially after being down there three weeks
ago and walking the Herr Ridge road and Longstreets Countermarch. 

McMansions popping up like d*mn mushrooms!! 

Sighhhhhhhhh 

Ok deep breath again.  Would some one PLEASE help me out understanding this
???

The front page of today's Harrrisburg newspaper has an article on proposed
200-acre indoor water park that would be larger than Hersheypark.
