Military ruins on Egmont Key. This made a interesting photo since the men sitting wore only underwear and the men standing were in full uniform. Photos like these throughout the island made one feel the passage of time. The island today is quite with a scattering of ruins. Most of the structures have long disappeared.
Pathway from the military ruins to the ghost town. . . Egmont Key has a lot of history. In 1898 a coastal defense system was built to protect the west coast of Florida from a possible Spanish invasion. This Fort became known as Fort Dade. By World War I their was a complete town on the island complete with a school, post office, hospital, theater, etc. Several miles of brick streets are still there today. This path connected the military fortress to the town.

In the 1960's the AeroJet company was considered as the possible supplier of solid-fuel rocket motors to be used as primary power plants for the Saturn I space booster. The idea, in simple terms, was to use a single, very large rocket motor in place of a number of smaller rocket motors.
The AJ260 was the largest rocket motor ever produced and during it’s testing, created the highest decibel noise level ever created by man. Its blast could be seen easily, 50 miles away in Miami. Despite it’s great power and sprawling manufacturing complex, the project was dropped by NASA.
All that remains are the ruins of the manufacturing facility, and of course, the rocket, which still sits in its firing tube in the middle of a swamp where it has been waiting for 50 years. The swamp has begun to reclaim this giant complex which stretches across five miles of desolate swamp.
The main complex of huge buildings, a great find itself, is not the highlight of this location. No, the highlight is a smaller metal shack about four miles further into the swamp. Half the roof is missing and a small group of turkey vultures have made the place their home. If you walked through the building you may not even notice it was there, but underneath your feet, below a rusted metal floor is a rocket.

I am really loving how bright she is. I don't have many clothes that seem to look good on her - lots of wardrobe experimenting going on.
Ruins of Fort Dade. Some historians believe that Hernando DeSoto could have been the first European to step upon Egmont Key in 1539. Today wildlife, military ruins and a lighthouse can be found on the island at the mouth of Tampa Bay.
