Great article. Of course the park officials’ primary concern has always been kowtowing to the rich folks who inhabit the perimeter of the park. While Valley Forge is an historical park and not a wildlife sanctuary, it would still seem to make sense to be somewhat concerned about safety. I was once told by a ranger that 45 miles per hour is the average speed of drivers on route 23, where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour. I suppose there is no money left for enforcing that after the $3million spent on mass murder.

Randy, I loved your article. Was with you from the opening line to the end, cheering, crying, smiling! Truly exceptional use of words.

Chuckled at how you “bring your revolution to the park every day”! Can easily visualize the frustration of the speedsters gritting their teeth behind your 25 mph! Truly inspirational! Now if only numerous other motorists would follow your example …

Can’t understand, though, how this park can be called a “wildlife sanctuary” when deer, instead of being safe within its boundaries, are at the mercy of animal killers.

Great article! I enjoyed the play on Gibrans’ poetry, a man passionate about his humanity and the experience of ‘life’.

In Pennsylvania 40,000 deer are hit by cars every year.
That’s 40,000 not 4,000

Also hunters kill about 350,000 every year.

These hunters also kill around 3,000 black bears every year.
