Got the call for Carlisle St

Saturday, Sept. 30, 2006 Carlisle St

After I returned to the office from introducing the Seminary guides, my coworker told me that I needed to get my uniform on, and that I would be guiding the 9:00 Carlisle St tour. Roughly 30 people signed up after 8:00 and put the group size up to 93. It had been awhile since I guided that route, but why not? About 30 nice folks and I went off into a night where it was cool and only sprinkled on us for a short while.

I mistimed this tour a little bit. I guess I told too many stories at the beginning of the walk, I took almost 2 hours. I used to be able to do that walk in an hour and a half. I really forgot how long that tour was!

That tour has some of the best stories on it, so we all had a pretty good time. After I finished, I waited for another one of our guides to finish his tour on Lincoln Square. He told me, as we were walking back to our cars, that someone mooned his group from the Gettysburg Hotel. That just goes to show that sometimes, you see scarier things than ghosts in Gettysburg!

Happy Hauntings...
