Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park: March 2023 Retreat
Pictures and video of short hike at Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park during my March 2023 Retreat.
Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park is a Florida State Park in Northeast Florida near Jacksonville on the North bank of the St Johns River. According to the sign in the park, it was a: Confederate earthworks designed and located by General Robert E. Lee as one of a series of forts for the defense of the Saint Johns River. This fort was occupied by both Confederate and Union forces during the course of the war and is today in its original state.
As I visit state parks, I get the opportunity to critically think about historical events, the misuse of power and control, and reflect on what it must have been like and what lessons I can learn from it.

Yellow Bluff (I think it's called) Historic State Park. This is like high up, kind of overlooking the St. Johns, which is over that away (points). You can see the 295 bridge over there (pointing at bridge). There aren't any good views of the river, but if you are in the neighborhood it is work a visit. There are really pretty oak trees.
