Gettysburg bike week

I will be in Gettysburg during bike week. I didn't plan it that way but it is working out. I need some help with a non-chain hotel. All I find are sold out. I do have campground reservations but a hotel might be nice.

I ride a 1996 Harley Davidson Heritage Softtail Classic. (low and slow)
Deals Gap was the reason I added a southern section to the trip. It was originally going to be Ind to Maine and back. Then I figured.. What the heck, if I get funded, I might as well make it worth the money.

Thanks Scoutmedic, I can actually pick up Route 20 here in Indiana. I am thinking of trying to make the entire trip without any interstate riding. Seems like it would be much more interesting. I like the "unchained" concept discussed in another thread. These are the things that will make a...
