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

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).
