Friday June 25th


Left Gettysburg around 8:30 this morning and drove 72 miles to Kinzer PA, as hour outside of Philadephia. Will spend 4 nights here,. Since we arrived early (10:00 am) we decided to visit Valley Forge National Historical Site not too far away. As you probably know, Valley Forge was the winter camp for Gen. George Washington's troups during the winter of 1777 and 1778. There were 12,000 troups here and the log cabins were for the soldiers. The building was Washington's Headquarters. The Arch is the National Memorial Arch along the tour route. We are getting ready for all of the history we will encounter tomorrow in Philadelphia.
