The cannon that guards the blockhouse of Ft. Scott.
This is the only blockhouse that I have ever run across.
I may have seen some as a kid as we explored all across the US and the Old Forts but do not remember them.
I made a tour right after the Geodetic Tour of 2008 at Meades Ranch.
I am glad there was a train blocking the road I might not have got to find so many neat things in this Civil War Town.
So make sure and stop it is well worth the visit.
As always have fun be safe and
