The next destination on my Virtual Hike was Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania.
The previous destination on my virtual hike was the house Einstein lived in when he taught at Princeton University.
The virtual hike from the Princeton first went by where the Battle of Princeton was fought during the Revolutionary War. Here you can see what is know as the Mercer Oak. You can find out more about Einstein’s House and the Mercer Oak in my post: Happy Pi Day II
It then head west across New Jersey toward the Delaware River.
The bridge across the Delaware River is only one lane plus a pedestrian path. I remember going across the bridge about 23 years ago. It was a bit scary.
Just across the bridge was my destination, Washington Crossing Historic Park. I took this picture when I visited back around the year 2000. See my post: Washington’s Crossing
My next destination on my Virtual Hike is about half-way to the next ancestor related stop.
I have been setting shorter distances between destinations for better motivation for my daily walking and so far it has been working. I have been walking more each day and have made good progress on my Virtual Hike. I am still a few stops behind on my posts.
I will now be heading west and have some interesting stops planned that are family or history related.
