Ft. Miles, Battery 519 at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes DE
Sometimes a project comes along that really gets me going and we have to participate.
This is that project.
It has all the things I hold near and dear: the ocean, the sand, geothermal, serving the community and honoring the generation that saved the world.
Battery 519 in Cape Henelopen State Park DE is a WW2 era gun emplacement that was built to turn the tide against the slaughter of the Nazi U Boat campaign. The gun was never fired in anger, only test fired. By the time the “not-so-secret” battery was finished, the U boats were already back on their heels.
The battery is now being restored as a State Park attraction open to the public. (Lewes, DE is the town in which I spent my wayward youth and I fondly remember exploring the remnants of the military’s exodus from Ft. Miles!) The museum at Ft. Miles is going geothermal for dehumidification and climate control. Our video shows our geothermal drilling on the beach under the direction of driller Andy Bradford…

I attended this attraction back in 2006. I wonder why the Cape May Point WW2 Bunker lays there untouched for over 70 years.?
I camp here twice a year and I have been eagerly watching the transformation of the battery, I remember before they started I used to hike over there all the time to look at it before the glass was there
