Fort Abercombie

These pictures are from a week or so ago when I went down to Fort Abercrombie, a national park and old WWII fort. The military part of it is pretty small, a couple of cannons and bunkers are all that remain, but there was some interesting facts written on little signs. The fighting never reached Kodiak, but there was a battle in Dutch Harbor and a few other far reaching Aluteutian islands. We won these battles, pretty overwhelmingly it seems. Besides intersting war memorabilia, Fort Abercrombie is beautiful with nice hiking trails and camping areas. With binoculars we were able to see grey whales far off in the distance. Of course I had to take the real love signature cannon pic that I invented in China, it's still to good to ever pass up. Besides that, work is work. I'm about halfway done with my contract here.
