Current Goal

Take me home to New Jersey. Take photos along the way.
The buff color of the NJ State flag dates back to 1779 and the NJ Regiments mustered for the Revolutionary War. The color was chosen by General Washington when he was directed by the Continental Congress to prescribe the uniform for the regiments of the New Jersey Continental Line. Washington directed that the coats of the soldiers should be dark blue faced with buff. These colors were chosen by General Washington to honor the original Dutch settlers of New Jersey. Dark Blue and Buff were the colors of Holland or the Netherlands.

On 2/28,1780 the Continental War Officers directed that each regiment should carry two flags; one that of the United States and the other a state flag that should be the color of the Uniform facing and the NJ State Flag has carried that color with it for over 200 years.

In 1896, New Jersey made it official and properly described the New Jersey State Flag in a joint resolution of the legislature.

Found on a gorgeous day in sunny AZ - went out twice looking for this travel bug. It's going to reach triple digits soon out here so that may have been the last nice day to hike! Will keep it moving on it's journey.
