Delaware Water Gap - Take Two

Saturday, October 8, 2016

Wilson and I both up early, knowing that we had to go back to Dingmans Ferry to pick up our backpack.  We were out of the campground at 4:24 am since we were up and knew we had to backtrack a bit.  We leave Alex at the campground and make the trek back to the Delaware Water Gap.  We arrive at the campground at 8:15 to find that our backpack was in good hands.

We get gas at the same WaWa that we visited the day before and head to Gilbertsville, PA where we visit family.  After an enjoyable visit with Ray and his family we head back to Gettysburg.

Once we arrive back in Gettysburg we stop by the Visitor Center to make a plan for the next day. Interestingly enough the museum, film, and cyclorama are a part of the Golden Pass program because they are managed by Gettysburg Foundation.  To get into those it was going to cost $12.50, not a lot really, but we didn't want to pay for it and we've both been there before.  Actually, I hadn't been there before because the old Visitor Center was torn down and moved to this new location in 2009.  They also sold the old cyclorama which had Vermont prominently displayed during the last battle.  I was afraid that it might not reference our state in the same way which would have really been disappointing.

Dinner at the Appalachian Brewing Company restaurant.  Good beers at very reasonable prices ($5/pint) and some yummy apps.

All in all a good day.  A great relief to get our stuff back.  It would have been difficult to not have this experience taint the rest of our trip.
