Fort Worden state park, coastal artillery

Camp here often. Really nice lots to do!

Nice, but why don't you tell the rest of us who don't live in your area where Ft. Wordern State Park is? Can't tell where you live from your signature.

Looked it up and I guess it's Washington. Wouldn't have guessed that.

My dad was a ways west of Worden shortly after !2-7-1941 as he was infantry supporting other coastal guns near Port Angeles. When it didn't seem as though the Japanese were invading, it was down to San Fran and a boat ride to Australia and then South Pacific combat. He liked that area of Washington and the people. He would have been 100 today-

Sorry wasnt even thinking about it. There is also Ft Casey and Ft Flagler. All like this with full hook up camping.

That is a good story. I always wondered what it would be like to be stationed there.

This is Ft. Worden, but I have some from Ft. Flagler I can dig up when I get home.
