Sharing for "travelling on wheels"...Cape Henlopen Park is in coastal Delaware. Declared as a park by William Penn in 1682, it has been used as a strategic point in the American Revolution, War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I and II. It is stunning and early morning bike rides through the park start my day off perfect every time! #lifeatexpedia
