There were some more pictures I wanted from Ft. Hancock so I went
back out there. This time around I was able to get some good pictures
of the upper section of Battery Potter and some interesting pictures
of Battery Gunnison and its 6 inch guns. There are some other pictures
here, hope you enjoy them all.
