Touro Park “Viking Tower”

  • 08/26/2009

I had been meaning to get to this one for a number of years, but it was usually out of the way.  Since we were touring a mansion in Newport, I finally had a chance to get to the “Viking Tower” in Touro Park.  Nobody seems to be...

Belle Mead General Depot

Fair amount of photos. Go walk your dog. Or cat. Or ferret. This was somewhat of an accidental find. We learned of an unused water tower with a geocache on top of it. Somehow Bill from LostinJersey found out an entire abandoned depot was not far from it...

Cape Henlopen State Park

  • 07/20/2004

This was my main reason for visiting Lewes. I had read about 7 concrete towers along the coast that were from World War II. Back when German U-boats were a possible threat in the Delaware Bay, many concrete towers were built along the coast to keep watch for...

World War II Watchtower

  • 11/20/2003

Photos from 2003 & 2009 Originally posted 2003, updated 12/10 I didn’t even know about this place until I went to the Cape May Lighthouse and saw it off in the distance. The guide at the top of the lighthouse told me a bit about the history of...
