Forts and Houses

No ghosts or even orbs yet!  Today we went to see Fort Pickens.  While we didn’t see ghosts, the history was great anyhow.   These forts have a tremendous amount of bricks.  Fort Barrancas had 6 million bricks while this one had 24 million.  Love the brickwork!  BTW, only I can stand up straight in this area!

Here’s an “oops-ah-shoot”.  Years ago a fire accidently broke out in one corner of the fort.  The explosion blew up that portion and sent bricks 1-1/2 miles.

I know there has been a lot of snow in the East.  Here we have white sand.  The park even has equipment to clean sand off the road.  It looks like snow!

Courtesy of my brother John’s recommendation, I checked out http://www.roadsideamerica.com/ and found some interesting homes near the fort.  The 1^st is called a Futuro or UFO House.  Only 100 of these were made back in the 1960’s.  The 2^nd is Dome House.  This was featured on Extreme Living on TV.  Very cool!
