Hi All,
With another sunny day off we drove up to Fort Clinch at the north end of Amelia Island. Built in 1847 and garrisoned during the Civil and Spanish American Wars, this large brick fort is very well preserved.
It protects the mouth of the St Mary's River between Amelia and Cumberland Island.
Simple quarters for enlisted men.
Looking for a few good men in 1861!
It was cold and windy so the fire in the kitchen was welcome.
The Quartermaster issued uniforms and equipment to the troops.
Three big guns of the main battery.
After the fort, we hiked along the Willow Pond Trail. Perhaps it should be called Green Pond!
This turtle obviously knows that alligators don't eat when it is this cold.
After the park, we had a great lunch at Karibo Grill in Fernandina Beach. Thank you Betty & Walt for the suggestion.
Stay warm & dry all.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
