| The Commandant's house is
quite spectacular. |

Founded in 1802, West Point is entwined with the history of our nation. Less
than 50 miles north of New York city, along the banks of the Hudson River,
the state-of-the-art sports facilities and academic lecture halls of the
academy provide a perfect juxtaposition for the terrain-rich environment
used for cadet military training. The academy develops cadets to live
honorably, with uncompromising integrity, as U.S Army officers in service to
the nation. |

| Ahhhhhh . . . our
first Sonic in weeks! |

| And on to the
Keystone State where we camped in Harrisburg on August 17. A note of
interest here . . . Ann made a trip to the laundromat and got lost upon
trying to return to our campground. She called Jer in a dither and he
had to get onto our navigation system to try to figure out where she was and
how to get her back to Bubba. NOTE TO SELF, ANNIE: don't leave
home, in a strange city, without the GPS! |

| Our only "official"
stop in Pennsylvania on this trip was to visit the National Civil War Museum. |
 |
| This museum
proclaims to be the only museum in The United States that portrays the
entire story of the American Civil War with equally balanced presentations
that are humanistic in nature without bias to Union or Confederate causes. |
 |
| The dioramas were
very well done, revealing what a day in the life of a soldier was like -
quite gruesome, at times. |
