0:29 one of those historical forts in a
0:31 historical area you go in you pay a
0:34 little bit of money they've refurbished
0:36 part of history and you and other
0:38 tourists look around reminiscing and
0:40 remembering about the past have you ever
0:43 thought man I really want to walk around

3:16 like it's about to cave in look how it's
3:18 separating those right there those

5:14 heck someone's been out here
5:17 recently what does this configuration of
5:19 bricks mean and there's another pile

5:35 there I don't know what
5:37 for hopefully that hole is not there for
5:40 me wait there's two of
5:44 them unless they cut me in
5:48 two oh man
6:47 here's where the Cannons would have sat
6:48 facing over that wall and shooting off
6:50 into the distance
7:23 normally these types of forts are open
7:23 to the public that way they can learn
7:25 the history of such forts not this one
7:28 however hidden in the
7:44 swamps it's almost like some sort of a
7:44 drainage area runs along the bottom of
7:46 the floor

8:04 there the brick
8:09 wall there's no one out here but

8:26 made it's almost like it's just kind of
8:28 Bowing in and out see how it goes up and
8:31 then down and then up and then down very
8:35 peculiar how these old forts were built
