Day 10: Jordan and Connor
We had to get onto the bus at 8:00, to get to the visitor’s center in time. As always, the breakfast was served in the hotel. It was about a 30 minute drive to get to our destination. Once we were on the bus, we went to a museum of all of the relics that they found in the Gettysburg area. Some of these relics included original Confederate uniforms, hats worn by each side of the army, and many types of artillery shells and bullets. We stayed at the visitor’s center for about two and a half hours, then we were able to wander around Gettysburg in groups until 1:30. After that we went on our battlefield hikes in groups of four, where we get a packet and we have to follow the directions and get certain things to complete our hike. After most of the groups completed their hikes we had to go pick up the others. Afterwards we went to the spot where Joshua Chamberlain saved the Union army. We then went to dinner; we had 4 choices of where to eat. We then relaxed for a little bit and we went to sentry duty. This is when you stand in the dark alone or with a partner and you stand there for twenty minutes and your mind is supposed to make illusions. We then got on the bus and settled down for the night.
