A Tour of Fort Pickens and Area in Winter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Just south of Pensacola is the Gulf Islands and at the very western end is Fort Pickens. It used to be a military fort used for over 100 years but fortunately we can walk around the sites ourselves now. It has quite some history and amidst amazingly beautiful beaches. The campground is only $26 a night, or $13 a night with an Access Pass, with hot showers so it's well worth it to camp right by the beaches!

Cinematography and historical military engineering. Just brilliant.
Jay, the Florida Trail doesn't actually start in Key West. It starts at Oasis Ranger Station and Visitor Center in Big Cypress National Preserve (north of Everglades NP). - This fort, though much much larger, reminds me of visiting Fort Pulaski National Monument between Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia. One of the young officers in charge of building Fort Pulaski was Robert E. Lee, who had recently graduated from West Point. During the Civil War, the Union army used two types of new rifled artillery to outdistance the CSA smooth bore cannons and take the fort.
We love Ft Pickens. We used to camp there with friends when our kids were little, and tour the fort. So much history. Ft Barrancus is in Pensacola, and also very interesting to tour. We would explore it, the Naval Air Museum and the lighthouse.
Interesting place. I will tell my family who lives in Orlando about it. They love history .
I traveled to Foer Pickens last february. It was a very interesting place. I really enjoyed all the history. Unfortunately, during my visit. I didn't have such great weather since a tropical storm came through. it still was a good time.
It was a pleasant surprise to see you on Tony's Live !!!
It was amazing that we were in the same area and was a huge blessing to get to hang out with my friend. Last time I saw Jay was when he came through PA on his AT thru hike.
thank you for always sharing your travels, jay! you always share the tidbits and details i would be most interested in. if i ever make it over to FL, this will have to be on my list.
Looks like you found the light at the end of the tunnel. 😊
So sad we missed you in our town! How you enjoyed your time
Awesome spot Jay! If I ever get back down there I will have to check it out.
Thanks for sharing, interesting. Miss you on the AT this year. Blackritz
Just think how loud those cannons were, and (as far as I know) they didn't have ear protection.
Ahhh just got to the part of the video where it mentions people bleading from mouth and ears,. Wow.
