Even
if Gettysburg was just a pretty Pennsylvania town with no history, the scenery
alone would be enough to merit a visit.
The location is Marsh Creek just past Sachs Covered Bride, very near the
battlefield. Though you’ll often see distant fishermen or perhaps even “ghost
hunters”, it’s generally very quiet and peaceful here, making it a perfect
place for contemplation. Autumn is an especially great time to visit (this
photo, with its abundance of yellow, was taken in November).
