Taneytown, Pa.
This was a great 45 mile bike from Taneytown to Gettysburg and then visited the historic towns of Union Bridge and Union Mills where we got a private PHD tour. We could have ridden over 100 miles but the focus was on historical monuments, and museums and the Antrim resort. Many parts of the Civil War Century go through these towns or close to them. We did the adventure with with Pat and Julie and we stayed in the incredible Antrim resort which is on the National Register of Historic places
