Ironhide Holds Down The Fort

Ironhide holding down the fort. No one is getting by him Though, I suppose he's a little relaxed since he doesn't have his cannons out. It was a very relaxing place
...Though, I wonder who blew all those holes in the side there?

(How many of my watchers figured this picture was coming? *snickers*)


This is at Fort Jefferson of the Dry Tortuga Islands.

This fort is 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. It is completely surrounded by water and can only be reached by plane or boat. We traveled there by boat. It is an amazing site. Construction of the fort began in 1846 and it is composed of 16 million bricks, making it one of the largest brick structures in the world.

The wall Ironhide is standing on completely surrounds the hexagonal-shaped fort.

I wish we could have taken some aerial photos, but here's the National Parks website that has some wonderful aerial views of the fort: [link]

This place was absolutely awesome!
