OK, now we begin the survey of Gettysburg. Unlike Bull Run, this battlefield was well tended when I visited, so there aren't a lot of differances as far as trees cut down and so forth. Now, this is going to be a slow process doing the workup on each site and then posting it, it may take three weeks or so to get through the two day visit. First I will post a Google sat view of the field with the first six camera locations marked. This represents the morning of the first day of my visit. The Google sat views were taken in wintertime, which is good because more is visible and not blocked so much by foliage.
edit: Forget what I said about trees cut down for accuracy. The Battlefield seems better tended today, especially the view from Little Round Top and from the Oak Ridge Tower.
I'll have to do the big sat view in two parts because it was too big to upload.

This is the rail cut NW of the town where the Iron Brigade captured many prisoners on the first day. If I'm incorrect about that, I will edit out my mistake and pretend I knew the true facts all along.
