Robby came to town on Sunday for a week long visit, and yesterday, we decided to do the tourist thing.
Jeanie, Robby and I started our day with an aerial tour of the island, piloted by yours truly.
Robby and I then headed off to Fort Clinch, while Jeanie went off to do her own thing. Fort Clinch is an example of a "Third System" US fort, although it has a number of characteristics which do not conform to the standard.
The fort itself was interesting. For our $2 (each) admission (in addition to the $5 (per vehicle) park entrance fee, we received a double sided tri-fold pamphlet which was reasonably informative. The visitor's center had additional background on the three systems, as well as the history of Fort Clinch. The fort itself had some facets that were in good repair, and others that were in various stages of restoration. The highlight of the visit was the docent in period costume, who was extremely knowledgeable and patent in answering our questions.
All in all, a very nice day.
