TAR8 EP2~"How Do We Know We Aren't Going To Get Shot?"
Chateau d If:
For getting the times lets start with: it’s about 1 hour 55 min from Belmont Plateau to Brubaker Farms.
And about 25 min from Brubaker Farms to the Ruhrer Family Farm.
Note that since the Brubaker place is on the East side of Musser Road those teams that took a right were going the long way. They probably thought they had to go back into central Lancaster.
So if you say the detour took the Gaghans 90 min (that's 1 mph buggy pushing) we can expect their check-in time to be about 1:50 pm. I would guess that the Linz Team took 15 min longer to push the buggy and since they started from Belmont Plateau one hour later their check-in time should be about 3:05 pm.
The Godlewski sisters rocked with the build-it part of the detour since they left Belmont Plateau one hour after the Gaghans but finished the leg first.

Spoiler alert!
For the first detour, on a scenic farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the teams must choose between hauling an Amish buggy along a 16-mile route or assembling a minibarn with a waterwheel. The Weavers arrive and go for the buggies, but later change their minds, the buggies weight 500 pounds. The Aiellos go for the buggies, "Oh, it's brutal" says Matt.
Van Munster wants to observe the buggy race more closely. "I need to know every detail" he says. "I'm going to follow them into the corn," The Gaghans, who have tow small kids, also choose the buggies. Think they can't hack it? (Hint: Even 9-year-old Carissa runs a seven-minute mile) The kids sing a victory song as they barrel past a stronger team, with mom Tammy effortlessly hauling the buggy. "She's an animal!" van Munster shouts. The teams collect their next clue: Off to the Pit Stop.
3 PM
After the teams finish the leg, Keoghan says he realizes another way this may differ from the past: "I expect it will be the most emotional Pit Stops we've ever had. I know that I'm going to be kicking kids off," Coexecutive producer Hayma "Screech" Washington adds, "You don't have to get out of the country to have a great event. That whole Washington Crossing thing? It was good. You feel like you stepped back in history. And we have a lot more of that coming up... but I can't tell you what." Be sure to bring the kids.

For our time line masters:
According to Google map it is 27 minutes from the farm to the Shoe House in York, PA. So it would make more sense to go to the Shoe House first and then down route 30 to Gettysburg.
If the actual reenactment was done the previous weekend (July 1-3) perhaps CBS shot the master overview scenes and the aerials at that time, and then just have a lesser number of participants coming back the following weekend. Most Civil War Enacters are dedicated souls, but they all have regular jobs to pay the bills, so I don't think many of them could hang around or take more time off to come back. But CBS has DEEP DEEP POCKETS so perhaps they made it worth their while.
Next map we need is from Gettysburg to Washinton DC
The clue box looks like it is at the capitol end of the Mall (4th Street) while the walk around is down at the Lincoln Memorial (24th street) That's more than a good miles hike!
