beautiful rich passage

This CG is a hidden jewel located on the east side of Bainbridge island on beautiful rich passage. like many sites on the Puget Sound this was first used as a military base for the US Navy to guard the Bremerton ship yards during the Spanish American war and WW2. There are many remnants of the fort located in the park. Look for the cement form lines on the buildings, they are only 18” high at best, this is because when they were built Portland cement hadn’t been invented yet, it took quite a while for the cement to dry before adding the “next layer”. You can also see this type of construction at Fort Flagler, Fort Casey and Fort Worden, AKA “The iron triangle”. The campground was nice and clean with some spots dedicated for two camps as a shared site, this allowed us to park are little trailers next to each other and made for a quaint spot.
