Well New York was something, but you could easily lose yourself in New York. I am kind of glad leaving all of the traffic behind too; I was stuck there for quite some time. But finally I reached Hackettstown. I got myself a place early in the morning and checked in and began to explore the place. I found out that there is a place here called the Wick House. This place was owned by General Arthur St. Claire and housed over 10000 soldiers 1779-80. It became the central command point during that cold winter. My hotel was also conveniently close by so this was the first on my stop.
After that I decided to wander off to the Sterling Hill Mining Museum, where I got to see all of the old mining gear they used. It truly is amazing to see what people did so many years ago. I don’t think that Sean Zarinegar will easily go that deep into the earth with what they had. Many miners lost their lives mining, but the rest kept on digging to find their fortune in the ground.
I then decided to venture off to Kittatinny Valley State Park, which I might have to say is one of the most impressive parks I have seen in a while. You can see Glacial Lakes, railroads and even a small airport on this vicinity. There are just places that take your breath away and for Sean Zarinegar this was one of those places. I really enjoyed my time in Hackettstown and the surrounding areas. But for now I must get back to my hotel because talk is cheap and I have a road trip to do. Goodnight everybody.
