In the early 1900s, this state park was an artillery post guarding the entrance to Puget Sound. Never fired in anger, the cannon were moved to more urgent locations during the world wars or were scrapped. Only their circular pits and galleries of inky-dark rooms, corridors and ammunition conveyor shafts remain for tourists to explore.

1. Back of a battery, built AIR beginning in 1903. Looks like they didn't expect any hits from this direction.


2. Long drops with no handrails; best stay sober.


3.


4.


5. The inside has been thoroughly emptied and cleaned. A few iron doors that creak dramatically have been left; and there are other bits of ironwork too firmly attached to carry off. Tracks in the ceiling may have supported trolleys for moving heavy material.


6. A shaft that seems to have held an ammunition conveyor. The prongs at the top are stationary.


7. Bonus picture; Mt. Baker





For details, see the LDB; http://www.uer.ca/...l.asp?picid=313586 . The second gallery, by Jokeplayer, is excellent.
