<br />Being a Pa boy, I've been going to Gettysburg since I was a teenager, only a 4 hour drive for me. Took the wife there for our first vacation together and she liked it so much we've made it a regular stop.
Joined a group about 16 years ago, Friends of the National Park at Gettysburg. They raise money to be used to preserve the battlefield and restore it to a more historical setting. Check out their website

As to the casino, our wise state representatives have decided we need to have a limited number of casinos in Pa, whether the people want them or not. Supposedly the money made from taxes on them will allow school districts to reduce our local property taxes. And everybody with some vacant land and political connections is lining up to get one of the licenses.

They tried to do the same thing to us down here in Florida, but only in the two counties that make up the greater Miami metro area, and it was put to a vote by the whole state since it required a change to the state constitution. I think we collectively shot it down. We have enough to worry about with drug smuggling, illegal immigrants, and bad driving retired Yankee snowbirds... We don't need organised gambling crime as well. [8D]
Btw, if it is snowbird season, why can't we shoot them? [:0] [;)]
