This photo was taken in 2002, I believe, which was our last visit to one.<br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - Thanks, Staci!<br /><br /><b>Lisa</b> - I've been to a number of forts too--and old missions. Like you, I never tire of them. There's so much history in them. <br /><br /><b>Myckyee</b> & <b>Alice</b> - There's an even better photo of the fort on the official website, but I like the angle of this one (my husband or I took the photo--I can't remember), with the wheel off to the side like that.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-44098324232572194202009-11-07T17:37:45.735-08:002009-11-07T17:37:45.735-08:00Melody - Thanks, Melody!

Life was so different back then.<br /><br /><b>Jenclair</b> - I bet it would be spooky after dark too. Imagine what the walls would say if they could talk.<br /><br /><b>Kathy</b> - I imagine it was far from it back in its day.<br /><br /><b>CJ</b> - I do too. I always try to imagine what it must have been like all those years ago when it was active and full of people.<br /><br /><b>Jill</b> - I hope you will get the chance to stop there.

I've got a couple of awesome pictures while I was there.
