The weather forecast for the day was rain and thunderstorms. Normally, that wouldn't be the cause for celebration, but, in our case, if we want to go anywhere, and take Sami, cloudy skies are a good thing. Thinking that we would drive the hour or so to Gettysburg, and stay the remainder of the day, we loaded Sami in the jeep, and took off for this historic town and battlefield. We drove through some torrential downpours, but as we got closer to Gettysburg, the skies started to clear, and sunlight began to shine. When we arrived in town, and headed toward the visitors center, it was now full blown sun, with the temps in the mid 80's. After looking in the visitors center parking lot for some shade, and finding none, I knew this day was about sightseeing while driving. Even with the windows partially down, our black jeep becomes an oven in just a matter of minutes, so, there was no way we could park anywhere. We drove around the town, and followed an auto tour, where we took a couple of photos. We passed several museums, and historical sites that begged for further exploration. Today we're hanging at the motor home, but tomorrow, our plan is to leave Sami in the air conditioned motor home, and drive back to Gettysburg.
