On today's ride, I visited Washington's Rock, about a mile south of Lambertville, NJ. Legend has it that George Washington stood on this rock to see what the British Troops were doing along the Delaware River. (Also Cornwallis used it to check on the rebels, but he lost so the rock isn't named after him). The panorama distorts the river which is pretty straight in this section. Directly across is Pennsylvania and old factories that have been turned into condos. There's a wing dam across the river. The river is about as low as I've ever seen it. Sometimes when the river is high, the wing dam is completely covered. About a mile up river, on the far side, is New Hope, Pennsylvania.



Just before I got home there was a spectacular sunset. Here it is behind the Kerr's farm, about a mile northeast of Pennington, NJ. I wasn't the only one taking a photo. People were pulling their cars off the road and getting out to take photos!
