Gale, Joel and I took a Thanksgiving vacation to Florida. We stayed at the Mayport Naval Station Lodging in Jacksonville. Here are some photos of our trip:
Gale and Joel at Fort Clinch In 1842, the United States government purchased a tract of land on the northern end of Amelia Island, at the Florida-Georgia border. A military installation was to be built on the property, to guard the mouth of the St. Mary's River, protect coastal and interior shipping, and defend the deepwater port of Fernandina, Florida. Construction began in 1847 on Fort Clinch, named in honor of General Duncan Lamont Clinch, a respected officer who fought bravely in the Second Seminole War. Being judged no longer of military value, the U.S. government sold the reservation to private interests in 1926. In 1935, the State of Florida bought the fort and property surrounding it for preservation and outdoor recreation opportunities. Then, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed the property into Fort Clinch State Park.
