We are touring Ft Pickens which is an island fort built as a result of the war of 1812 and used during our Civil War. The fort is located on an island sand bar and is directly across from Fort Barrancas in Pensacola which now is in the confines of Pensacola Naval Air Station where we are now staying. Myron and Karen are standing in one of the gun magazines aimed at the waters between the island and the NAS.. 

 This Fort held a famous prisoner until he died.
Geronimo was held here after his capture, he roamed the fort freely and was never again seen on the mainland.
