My Love Affair With Forts Continues







My favorite fort is Ft. Sumter but this fort is a very close second.  Fort Macon was built before the Civil War.  The elements of nature have claimed it twice only to be rebuilt.   It saw 11 hrs of battle during the Civil War before surrendering.  (Damn Yankees!)  It became a state park until it was brought back into commission during WWII.  It was SO hot but we had a breeze the whole time there.
