Back in the 1960's this was all overgrown and forgotten. We used to cross a creek and sneak in the back way and wander around, a few times we camped there or nearby. It was very spooky yet a fun excursion. Later Fort Stevens cleaned up the post and opened this area to tourists.
I go here every year, this year the stairs were blocked off due to them becoming unstable, it's sad to know that after years of going to this amazing place, it will be gone soon
I hit my head 4 times in the gun look out area, on the 2nd floor of that very area. All the way at the end. I climbed through it to get a picture for my brother and his girlfriend kissing. I kept forgetting there was a ledge. 1:07 I crawled through the long window lol. We were there yesterday. 1:20 is the outside of it where I stood to take the photo💀

A great part of history to say the least. Thanks for sharing!
I used to play around there when I was a kid, the big cannon guns used to be in place up on top of the Fort but they were removed in the 90s.
Very cool - Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for your comment. Why do you say it will be gone soon?
@@jnorman34 it's getting old and rotting, a lot more of it had started to crumble compared to 5 years ago
Hopefully the park will undertake some repairs.
I have written to park officials asking if repair and stabilization work was being considered. I will update you when I hear back from them.
@@jnorman34 oh
That is a creepy looking place. Did you see the video taken during the night? It's even more creepier when they see a shadow moving.
