While visiting family, I spent a day with a friend on the island in December. I looked over the buildings in Fort McDowell, but have become too practiced in the habit of self preservation. At this time they'd need a more aggressive explorer than me, tho we did stroll into one of them. Still, the hike over the top of Mt. Livermore was great.
1. Fort McDowell from Mt. Livermore. The 600-man barracks is right of center.
2. Mess hall
3. Streets of abandonments, pretty well secured
4. Except this one
5.
6. You can't go upstairs! You might fall out of a window.
7.
If you're planning a trip around this place, check the ferry schedule first,
