Ok last horse picture.   Just thought I’d post something less somber after yesterday’s picture.

What we see here is one of the remaining markers from the survey of the trans-peninsular line that cuts across the Delmarva peninsula and defines the southern border of Delaware.   I will take the time now to once again butcher and abridge some history for you.  
The charter given to the Penns for the three counties […]
