New Years Day Hike

Went for a short stroll on the coast this morning. This area is about a twenty minute drive from home and is quite nice although I miss the wild and woolly days when the area first became public after the military left in around 1974. Then you almost had the place to yourself and all the people containing upgrades were non-existent. You could even build fires on the beach which is unheard of now.

There are coastal defense installations dating back to the civil war here but these I'm showing were built in 1940.

Two of several large gun emplacements.

Random observation posts and pill boxes are all over the place.

The large guns were 16".
