Stop in for a cup of coffee

It was a big part of my life. Really never thought I'd be going back again. This time is a bit different. Sadly the living history aspects are gone and frankly its shocking to see what has happened since I was last there (2003).

The map of outpost postions in that booklet really illustrates that.

Although not as symbolic as Valley Forge became, Morristown was a more important base of operations in pretty much every respect. I think it also is more relatable and relevant today. The war is entering its fifth year with mounting problems and falling enthusiasm. Its a complex war spread over the entire eastern seaboard, western lands, and beyond. I could go on but coffee is getting cold! Just like the winter. ;)

Very cool Matt

A lot of early- mid 18th C fort sites along the valley and Cacapon Rivers out here. To think this was the edge of civilisation not that very long ago
