Officer's Home

At Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, sits a row of beautifully stated Officer's homes.  The state rents these homes out to vacationers.  Our group of friends was lucky enough to get to stay in this home.  It still maintains many of its original architecture details and beauty.  This home was once home to Col. Clarence Deems and his family.  I should have looked into the Colonel's history while we were at the Fort, because internet searches only have turned up information on his sought after retirement in 1908, sighting his fondness for his dog.

Lighthouse

The top of Battery Kinzie offers a great view of the Fort Worden Lighthouse.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Yesterday, we showed you someone geared up to explore the tunnels and narrows passages of the Battery Kinizie.  Today, this shot gives you a taste of a wide passage with plenty of light.  As you traveled further back into the battery things got narrower, darker, and spookier. 



Weekend Reflections: The Explorer

A dark series of passages and storage rooms form Battery Kinzie at Fort Worden State Park.  There are no lights to guide the way so flashlights and a little courage are necessary. This guy was getting prepared to lead his two young children into the depths of the battery.
