After an awesome breakfast at the Oak Table Restaurant in Kingston, we all headed out on a random adventure up to Fort Flagler. This place is super creepy. I really want to go back and drop plastic spiders onto people’s heads from above. 😉 If you go, definitely bring a flash light.
Hooray! Finally some people in your pictures, AND I even know them!
More please.
I used to go camping all the time as a kid at Fort Flagler. The park rangers would give tours and slide shows and we’d spend overnight in the old troop barracks and they’d tell how when Fort Flagler, Fort Worden, and Fort Casey were all in operation in the early 1900’s, they formed a “Triangle of Death” to the entrance of Puget Sound so that any invading ship trying to make it to Seattle would get blown out of the water by the huge guns at one of the 3 forts. The forts also had very powerful spotlights for night time operations and sometimes bootlegging boats would try and pass through the triangle at night only to have spotlights from all 3 forts suddenly shining on them. The crews of the bootlegging boats would freak and toss all their bottles of illegal booze overboard, then take off. The next morning, all the soldiers would go down to the beach and get wasted on the bottles that had washed ashore during the night.
