    I remember as a school kid walking across the river ice with my class to the fort. The huge walls,very intimidating, experiencing the massive scale of the place and hearing about its use and quick demise. It was a wonderful place to visit, so close to home. Some day I hope to take my kids there and do a little reliving of earlier memories. I suppose it's a bit more pleasant in the summer, so maybe I'll wait till then. Just watch out for the nasty mosquitoes.
