NPS - Presidio of California - Fort Winfield Scott







Another stop on a walk and drive through the Presidio.  








Fort Winfield Scott was established in 1912 and was designated as the headquarters for San Francisco Coastal defense, controlling Forts Baker, Barry, Cronkhite, Miley and Funston, but not the Presidio or Fort Mason.















At the end of WWII it became a sub post of the SF Presidio and in 1946 became the home of the US Army's Coast Artillery School for a short time.

NHP - Nez Perce


In 1877 the Nez Perce traveled 1170 miles in 126 days through 4 different states as they fled the US Army.  The Nez Perce Historical Park follows the flight.  You can follow it on the website if not in reality The Flight of 1877.

On our Lewis and Clark Trail Trip we stopped at a few of the sites on our way from Lewiston to Missoula.
