Day 2 the adventure continues.

Tonight I am writing from the Courtyard by Marriott in Gettysburg, PA. Drove 304 miles today. Left Zanesville, OH after a great breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Gassed up with 13.438 gallons at $3.899 per gallon. The price in Indiana at $4.099 was rediculous. Thanks to traffic and onstruction, did get into Gettysburg until 1:00.
I am sore and tired. On my last last visit, I walked the entire battlefield in a light rain. Today, not so much. Walked halfway down Cemetary Ridge and a bit at Little Round Top. The visitor center is new from what we visited in 97. Kind of thru us off our game plan. I hope the boys learned something.
Went in search of supper and dismounted at Appalachian Brewing Company. I wasn't hungry but everyone else ordered and I ordered something to go. We tried a few different beers. The mountain lager was very good. It was cold, crisp and light, very good after a day of trudging. Rob tried the Happy Trails, IPA then the Purist Pale Ale. The Hoppy Trails was a very good pale ale. The purist pale ale was a little too light and lacked a good hop flavor.

SO at 2 Am I have a cheeseburger and leftover chips and fries. One annoying thing I have noticed is that if you ask for hot sauce, you get tabasco. These places have different food, different beer but they all have tabasco sauce. What gives? Denny's, Cracker Barrel and the Appalachian Brewing Co all have tabasco. I love hot sauce, but I prefer a good cayenne to tabasco. I did manage to buy a bottle of Cracker Barrel's Bone Sucking Sauce, which is habanero based. Another bottle for my hot sauce collection. Go figure, I can buy it in the store but have it at my table. That blows. The brewing company had malt vinegar at every table but tabasco, time to get off the soap box.

Our goal for tomorrow is to visit another place here then road trip to Sharpsburg, MD to visit the battlefield at Antietam. Not sure where we will land tomorrow. Maybe another hotel or my brother's place in Alexandria, VA.

My ultimate goal is to stuff my face with fresh seafood. A man has to have a goal.
