Today we visited Valley Forge in the morning and then it was on to Albany New York. We cooked our own breakfast (yay!) for the first time this trip – and for MBH that means pouring milk over cereal.

But in between we had our first Wawa experience as we needed ice for the cooler now that we have food. So many special milestones on this trip. We hope to get wawa-ed again soon.

The drive to Albany was another scenic drive in the mountains as we avoided the cities of the plain. It’s amazing how much empty terrain there is in this country. Despite seeing three or four state police cars (which is three or four more than we’ve seen before today) we managed not to get stopped.

After consultations with our former Maine host we have booked a cabin near Acadia so as of right now we have somewhere to stay besides the car for the remainder of the trip. But I’m not counting my beds until I’ve slept in them.

Could be a statue of General Wayne since it was next to the auto tour stop named Wayne’s Woods. Don’t tell me you’ve never taken a picture from the car of something historical without actually knowing what or who it is.
The accommodations at Valley Forge don’t look that bad to me. The Maine cabin will be similar, only with electricity, HVAC, lights, flush toilet, kitchen, WiFi, but other that, not much different.
The Grand Parade grounds at Valley Forge. According to legend, the Revolutionary war was won here. Who knows, the legend might even be accurate.
Is the hunting ban official? Sign looks kind of sketchy to me. And why does a rest stop in New York feel the need to ban hunting – what does one hunt there? Squirrels?
Oops happens. Well, it does.
