Interesting link du jour

[airbornelawyer]

Well, "interesting" maybe, depending on either your geekiness or desire for militarily-oriented tourist destinations (sure to please any significant other who can't wait to traipse all over battlefields):

USAforts.com (http://www.geocities.com/naforts/forts.html), a "Catalogue and Gazetteer of Forts and Fortresses, Frontier Posts, Camps, Stockades, Blockhouses, Garrisons, Arsenals, and Seacoast Batteries in the United States and Canada."

Annoying Yahoo!Geocities ad frame that sticks into the page, but otherwise easy to navigate. Reasonably up-to-date, lists installations past and present, with a brief description, and links to websites where available.

That's a good link. I don't go out of my way to visit old forts but I pencil them in if I'm in the area. So far I've only been to Fort Point and Fort Pulaski. I stopped at Pulaski on my way back from a day trip to Tybee Island back in 2003. Pretty cool, especially taking a tour around the outside of the Fort and examining all the damage still there from the rifled artillery barrage.
