to Washington's Headquarters

The rain moved out overnight leaving a gray early morning sky. As the day progressed the sky wore bright blue decorated with fluffy white clouds.

I headed to the Valley Forge National Historical Park thinking I would follow the Joseph Plumb Martin trail in a big loop. Instead I headed out and back on that trail, following an offshoot that led to Washington's Headquarters.

Walking through that very small house was quite interesting. I understand that the house is about 80% original; some restoration was needed. The kitchen hearth was huge. The bedrooms upstairs were small, the beds were quite short. The stairs were worn, and the ceilings appeared to get shorter floor by floor.

It was a good walk.
