A consistent favorite, we decided to start the summer camping season off with a trip to Fort Flagler. Early June can be risky as far as weather is concerned, but we lucked out (and continued to do so for the next three weeks), and had a great time. The girls loved playing on the beach, roasting marshmallows, and 'exploring'. This was only the 2nd trip with Juneau, but I think she even had a good time as well.

2006-06-10 14:35:01Part of the apparent lift.img_1897.jpg=Just behind one of the main batteries (off to the right, out of picture), looking downstairs. Lots of rooms down there, even found one labeled "latrine".
