For those not completely familiar with the Battle of Gettysburg, I have put together some information in the attachments below.

Part 1. Order of Battle roster
Part 2. Synopsis of the Battle
Part 3. Battlefield Map

I take responsibility for any and all errors in historical or geographic fact, since I put this together from memory and a variety of sources. :o

Not much interest here, I guess. :dunno:

Wow, that plan went downhill fast. No matter, if it's just me & John then that's the team. Unless we want to join up with you guys and do Luray. It's John's call, as far as I'm concerned; but last minute plans aren't gonna get anyone's knickers all bunched up.;).

Thanks for the attachments, Charlie, I'm sure everyone will enjoy them.

BTW, I'm gonna have to cut out around 1 on Thursday, for my trap shooting competition, but will return after dinner, and be available for the duration.

It was a nice idea Charlie. I'd be more interested in a ghost tour there, but you know I'm a freak like that. :cool:

The largest group of about 20 have signed up for the Skyline Drive & Luray Caverns tour. Check MV V Update #9 for the list.

Ladyhawke and Haggis have offered to do the trip to Antietam & Backroads that you indicated an interest in. However, the poll indicated Skyline and Gettysburg would handle most of the people who checked in on the poll. Your call. Sure will be a sight to see about 20 MMs crusiing the Skyline Drive.

Check out the Capital Area Marauder (CAM) forum for upcoming events. All you need to do is show up and introduce yourself.

Me, Merc and Breadfan occasionally make the trip to the Manassas Burger King off Route 28 near Route 234 By-Pass. Let us know when you are going make the trip and we'll try to arrange to be there. Breeadfan has been trying to get a good MM showing for one of their Saturday shows; but the timing hasn't been working out.
