Free National Park day...and I took advantage of it. It was a cool day, but inside the fort was warm and sunny. Loved it. Took my time. Even stopped to eat a few blackberries along the way.

To coin a phrase from Paul Harvey, the legendary syndicated commentator. This is the rest of the story from our Fort Pickens visit.

In doing a search for a layout of the Forts in Pensacola, this article came up. I thought it was interesting.
THE FORTS AT PENSACOLA, FLA.
Published: January 12, 1861
CHARLESTON, Friday, Jan. 11.
A private dispatch to the Courier says that the Federal troops have abandoned all the forts in Pensacola Harbor, except Fort Pickens, where they are concentrated, and that three hundred men have left Mobile to surprise Fort Pickens.

| This is the beautiful pass |
Fee Free Week for National Parks Week was from Saturday April 17 through Sunday April 25. And we took advantage of it. I haven't been out to Fort Pickens since we moved here and have really been wanting to go. It was so beautiful. All of these images were taken within the gates of the park.
