Morristown National Park

This past Sunday, September 2, my buddy and I decided to visit the Morristown National Park, which has three units:  Washington's Headquarters, Fort Nonsense, and Jockey Hollow.  Morristown served as the winter encampment for the Continental Army in 1779-1780, a much more severe winter than the one at Valley Forge.  We started out at Jockey Hollow, and went to the visitor's center there, and then decided to hike to the Soldiers' huts, which was about a mile there, and a mile back. We started out on the trail but soon switched to the road (easier on the knees!). So we had an enjoyable walk, shooting the breeze about stuff, got to the huts, looked around, and headed back. Of course, once we got a fair distance from the huts the rain started. We were on the road so we saw a spot on the road that was still dry and stopped there. We then experienced that sinking sensation of hearing the rain start to fall harder and watch our dry spot get smaller and smaller and eventually disappear altogether. We got a pretty good drenching. Still, we made it back, talked to one of the rangers who was in the barn about the park and its history and decided we'd go to the museum at Washington's HQ in Morristown. So we toured the museum there (but NOT the house that served as his HQ).  The museum is very small, actually disappointingly small.  It does have some interesting weapons, but we finished the tour in about 15 minutes.
