Going...Going...Gone

Here
We're in Carlisle. All 650 miles went well. It sure as heck beats the 1200 we used to have to drive! The weather is pretty cool right now, not horrible, but you need a light jacket when the sun goes down.

It's an hour later here than in Terre Haute. Even though Terre Haute is on Eastern time, they don't do day light savings so they're with central time now. I like not having to change time and it doesn't get dark until around 9pm or after anyway. So, back to Carlisle.

Carlisle is a very old town, for America that is. It's nearly 300 years old and George Washington was on the Barracks at one time. There's a tree on post that goes back to the time when Washington was there. It is a tradition that the kids that come each year to the War College with their families carve their name or initials in the tree. You can look up high into the branches and see names going forever. For a tree to be over 200 years, you can imagine how big around it is...huge!

More to come later.
