Dry Tortugas National Park's Weird Lesson

Visiting Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park is something anyone visiting Key West must do. It's like going back in time to witness a military blunder of epic proportions while seeing the Florida Keys like they were before being connected by roads or developed for habitation. While it is one of the less visited National Parks, it definitely leaves an impact on anyone who dares visit. This video discusses the island's history, what confused us about it, how to visit, what to bring (hint: anything you need), and our assessment of how it compares to other national parks.

I think I got the facts right but it's tough to get a complete story on something that old and ultimately so poorly documented.
