Revisit- Fort Matanzas National Park - St Augustine, Florida

Date of visit:  Sunday, April 8, 2012

 This is the fort site out in the river- It was originally built in the mid 1500's, then restored sort of in the later 1920's or so, then basically given over to the NPS. 

 We also walked the nature trail this trip, which was a very nice half mile or so boardwalk through the swamp like terrain. 

Today, on our baseball trip, Cooper and I stopped in at Fort Matanzas National Monument, which was last visited in February of 2010.   This time, we did a full site visit:  watched the movie, which was only 6 minutes, then took the shuttle boat over to the actual fort, which is on an island in the middle of the St John River.  Also managed to find a "new" bonus stamp, but the 25th anniversary was not to be found.  I was rather harshly advised that "it wasn't the 25th anniversary year anymore."
