The Gettysburg Battlefield is the area of the July 1–3, 1863, military engagements of the Battle of Gettysburg within and around the borough of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Locations of military engagements extend from the 4-acre  site at Knoxlyn Ridge on the west of the borough, to East Cavalry Field on the east. A military engagement prior to the battle was conducted at the Gettysburg Railroad trestle over Rock Creek, which was burned on June 27

The amazing view at the top of Hawk Rock near Duncannon, PA.  Unfortunately I went on a day when the mosquitoes were a bit aggressive and ended up with a few lovely bites.
