After the long line at the ticket booth, we encountered a long line by the portapotties near the Harper House and almost made the mistake of going right up to them before we noticed a line. They should have had one side blocked off.
By this time, the food lines had to be twenty to thirty deep.
Finally, someone at the tickets came out and started walking along the line selling them to people with cash, which really sped up the process, so we bought them. We found out that all activities were free, but it cost $10 to see the battle. We also heard that we should immediately go out to the field where it was to take place if we wanted to view it.
We walked on out about two hours before it and there were already so many people there that a good view of the battle was going to be difficult, so we walked back into the woods and viewed the Union troops getting ready for battle which was interesting and a LOT cooler.
Watched several regiments marching off down the dirt road and felt this would have been what it would have looked like with US flags and drums a rolling.
We did find several portapotties near the Union encampment, but again, a very long line.
