My family and friends booked a river tubing adventure in the Lake George Area.
The weather was nice (which wasn’t the case for most of the week) and it was a relaxing time.
Cape May: WW2 Lookout Tower
We visited another WW2-era structure in the Cape May area. This building is Fire Control Tower #23.
According to Cape May MAC:
Built in 1942, the tower was one of 15 towers that helped aim batteries of coastal artillery, stretching from North Wildwood, N.J. to Bethany Beach, Del. Four were in Cape May County, N.J.—the towers located in North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest were torn down and a third tower is located inside Cape May’s Grand Hotel, Beach and Philadelphia avenues. Fire Control Tower No. 23 is on land now part of the Cape May Point State Park.
Due to somewhat longer lines and unexpected crowding, we opted not to go inside the structure, but like most things back then… it was built to last… so maybe next time.
Cape May: Bunker At Cape May Point
We visited the WW2-era concrete bunker at Cape May Point. Built in 1942, it is amazing the thing is still standing, but it does have 6 ft thick concrete walls designed to take a battle ship blast.
The bunker was built to protect the coast from Germans should the United States be invaded during WW2.
After the war, the bunker was decommissioned and used as a military radio center during the 1950’s.
The local government does not allow access inside the structure, but with those thick walls, I wouldn’t expect a cell signal in that thing.
Cape May: Beach Plum Farm
My family and Team Gorcka went to Cape May this weekend to just get away and I have been itching to do some outdoor video projects.
This first video of a little series and it covers our visit to Beach Plum Farm. We had some breakfast and bought bread and jams for later.
Ben also met a chicken.
Plague Vlog: The Return Of Breakfast
We went out to eat for the first time in 6 months. Back to our favorite, the Woodbury Station Cafe.
I did a little filming… because why not.
Ben opted to be salty for the duration of the project and my Mom makes a rare cameo.
Plague Vlog: Flu Shots
Allison and I got flu shots today at Target… who doesn’t not respect the concept of an appointment. Ben experienced a different kind of shoot, a photo shoot. Our friend’s children also took advantage of the photographer being there, and I had a nice conversation with our old friend Jackson.
