Valley Forge Pennsylvania

Valley Forge Pennsylvania

During my recent trip to Philadelphia, I had a bit of time to stop by Valley Forge nearby.

First stop is the reconstructed first redoubt. As the first line of defenses for the camp, it helped protect the rest of the camp from any potential British attacks.

The Maryland 1st stayed in this approximate location. These cabins are a reconstruction of what they built for themselves.

I don’t have much information about when the Covered Bridge was built, but it’s on a fairly busy road. I could not get a picture without a car either entering or on it.

And of course, as it’s a National Park, it’s also a wildlife refuge.

From my recent business trip to Philadelphia. The first picture is Independence Hall, where the Constitution was signed, and where the US Government worked until it was moved to Washington DC.

Second picture is of a statue at Penn’s Landing commemorating the Irish Potato Famine and the number of immigrants it brought to the US.

Humboldt Lagoons State Park is about 30 miles south of Eureka California, and was created in 1921 by the Save-the-Redwoods League from lands purchased from the Pacific Lumber Company. It is now the third largest park in the California State Park System, at nearly 53,000 acres

While the park has gorgeous coast lines, it’s really famed for the Coast Redwoods. 100 of the of the 137 largest Redwoods grow in the park.
