A reference to The Thread (War Room)......



mlees -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/27/2006 10:37:08 PM)

Another place to visit along this type of topic was Fort de Russy, Honolulu. Coastal Battery that has been turned into a museum.

Unfortunately, I have no pics of this site to offer. Anybody else reading this been there?

GF Mk I has been exaggerating again I see.... [8|] [:'(]



Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/27/2006 11:50:56 PM)

GF Mark I worships me....except when i'm on the computer....in which case she wishes to partake of the frying pan and practice being Barry Bonds.




Mynok -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 12:02:30 AM)


So now you know what brings our her true personality.....for mine, it's leaving trash cans full too long. [X(]



kaplumber -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 12:08:31 AM)

What is it with the trash cans? Same thing at my house. I personally don't see a problem with it as long as it doesn't overflow enough to block the fridge or the computer screen.



Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 12:19:25 AM)

If we don't empty our trash cans......the Yellow Dog of Annoyance (otherwise known as the YDA) sneaks into the kitchen at night and leaves a suprise for me when it's time to go to work.


This morning it was Taco Bell wrappers all over the living room floor.

GF Mark I unit insisted on a road trip and wished to go explore "Olde Concrete" again since its a good way to spend a partially sunny afternoon with Boyfriend unit + dogage. (it also drags me away from the computer)

Now in posession of a digital camera, a return trip to Fort Worden seemed a good idea. If you've ever wondered what that little static LCU on the West coast looks like....here's your chance:

Picture 1. Looking NE from the main parade grounds just after you enter the fort. The houses in the distance were i believe officer's homes for self and family members (you can now rent one out for a weekend excursion though not all have been restored)

These pictures bring back old memories. I was stationed on Whidbey Island in the mid 80s and remember those forts well. Unfortunately most of my pictures were black and white or slides (I was a photography back then in the Navy).



Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 4:42:27 AM)

Next. Switchboard bunker.

Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 4:43:24 AM)

Yellow Dog of Annoyance does not look too keen on entering

Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 4:45:51 AM)

Far corner inside bunker....some kind of depression and rail assembly.

Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 4:46:43 AM)

Looking back toward the entrance. For some reason things came out rather dark

Battery Tolles....

Looking east...

Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 4:53:39 AM)

Disapearing gun foundation...and a Big Black Dog.

Nikademus -> RE: Fort Worden Trip (3/28/2006 4:54:54 AM)

Tolles sports a pair of interesting, non-disapearing gun foundations. The sight line to the Sound is still quite intact as well.

Observation/fire control bunker nestled in the middle of Tolles
