Apple River Fort, IL (8-20-11)

The first thing you notice about this fort is how many holes there are in the wall surrounding it. Can't say I'd feel real safe standing behind these rough poles while under fire. The uneven spacing did provide one advantage, however...it allowed an almost unlimited number of angles for returning fire...

Note to future park planners...DO NOT place port-a-potty's adjacent to historic structures...it detracts from the historical ambiance of the site and is guaranteed to frustrate visiting photographers...overall, however, this was a minor blemish on what was a fabulously recreated old fort...for it's size, the best I've ever visited!
