#FoundOnFieldTrip: The Castillo de San Marcos
The oldest stone fort in the continental United States is located in St. Augustine, Florida. Originally constructed by the Spanish in the late 17th century, the stone Castillo de San Marcos replaced a previous wooden fortification. The need for a stone fort became apparent after the English buccaneer Robert Searle burnt most of the settlement in 1668.

    Used to anchor my boat in the water on the left side of the picture and fish and listen to Buffett while Yvonne Varwig​ worked on her tan.

    Many good missions in and around that area!! Local players are great as well (humbly put as I am semi-local).
