Fort Monroe 3-8-16

Historic Fort Monroe Hike

Maybe I should have gotten a parade permit for the Tuesday Group!! 55 folks arrived at Fort Monroe to hike around the historic grounds.The weather was sunny with a light wind and warm temps. Everyone seemed happy to be outside. We entered the Fort, seeing the pet cemetery and spectacular views of Fort Wool and Hampton Roads Harbor. Exiting the fort we continued north to Dog Beach Area, passing 2 military batteries. Finishing the ~5 miles by returning along the seawall, we got our lunches from our cars to eat at the Old Point Comfort Yacht Club building overlooking Mill Creek. Judy brought delicious cakes for all of us to celebrate Ed's birthday. Most folks then left but 11 of us went to the Casemate Museum. Good friends, good weather and an interesting historic site made for another great Tuesday Group outing.
