Jonathan Dickinson State Park





The guys traveled to Jonathan Dickinson State Park on Sunday afternoon. The 11,500-acre park is named for Jonathan Dickinson, a Quaker merchant whose vessel shipwrecked nearby in 1696. During World War II the land the park now occupies was home to Camp Murphy, a top-secret radar training school with over 6,600 men. The land became a state park in 1950.

Part of the afternoon was spent sitting outside listening to the USA versus Canada hockey game. Even though the loss was disappointing, they celebrated by taking their first shower in about 3 days (the picture to the left was "pre-shower.")
