Another 400-Mile Day

On the way home. I thought that I needed a car day where I rested, but still have low energy. The barometer is changing. We woke up this morning and it was no longer warm and dry, but warm and very humid. That probably is why I'm out of sorts.

Took the morning to tour Valley Forge, PA. A beautiful park in the middle of a bustling area on the edge of greater Philadelphia. Great visitor center--we watched a little film about life at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary war. The arch on the left (located on the park grounds) commemorates the sacrifices of the soldiers at Valley Forge.

Below is a picture of a farm house on the park grounds. It was a farm house at the time Washington used the site to house his troops.
As you can see, it's still a pretty spot.

The next shot is Washington's headquarters. You can see that at this time of year we miss the crush of families but run into the occasional school field trip.The last shot is a picture of the guard huts near the headquarters. Each hut held 12 men. 4 sets of bunks--3 beds to a set. We hope that people really were smaller then.

Fall is upon us. The colors were out this morning and all the way to Zanesville, Ohio.
Drove through some heavy rain and still the mountains were beautiful.
