I have not been since they redid the visitor's center a few years ago. I really want to go back to see that, and to walk the battlefield again because it's so neat.

Walking Pickett's Charge in the summer is something else. You get the scale of the situation they faced.

I was 14 when I was there. I'm a history nut and so glad we went there as part of a vacation.

How Lee thought Pickett's men going that far in wide open spaces was a good idea is mind-boggling.
