Next time you're around, try again. <BR/><BR/>I think it's in pretty good shape under the circumstances. With the wind and fog and the salt spray, it exists in some harsh conditions. There are some exhibits inside, and a small NPS visitor center/bookstore. The bookstore is open Fri., Sat., and Sun., but the fort itself is open all year round, except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. <BR/><BR/>Daviddwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748726942956990159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295676.post-17516262971530076202007-11-08T09:42:00.000-08:002007-11-08T09:42:00.000-08:00The one time I visited the fort (it was shortly af...The one time I visited the fort (it was shortly after 9/11), it was completely closed to public access with temp. fencing and patrolled by armed national guardsmen. Needless to say, I didn't try to get close to it. From the outside, it actually looked more than a bit run down. Can visitors go inside today?DW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.com
