Exploring Fort Hancock And Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area
This is a video I put together on a weekend road trip to Fort Hancock And Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area in Highlands, NJ on 6/25/16. I spent a whole day exploring there. There's a lot to see there. Also a couple beaches too.
Fort Hancock is a former United States Army fort at Sandy Hook in Middletown Township New Jersey. The coastal artillery base defended the Atlantic coast and the entrance to New York Harbor. Between 1874 and 1919, Fort Hancock was operated in conjunction with the US Army's Sandy Hook Proving Ground. It is now part of Fort Hancock Memorial Park.
The Sandy Hook Light, the oldest working lighthouse in the United States, is located on the grounds of Fort Hancock.
In 1893, Fort Hancock installed the nation's first disappearing gun battery at Battery Potter. In the late 1950s anti-aircraft missiles from Project Nike were based at the fort.
Fort Hancock was decommissioned as an active U.S. Army installation in 1974. It is now part of the National Parks of New York Harbor under the National Park System. A museum is managed as part of the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. In 2013, the Park Service introduced Nubian goats to the fort in order to clear away poison ivy that has been growing unchecked on the six-acre property for about 40 years.
The NPS is soliciting proposals for renovation and use to the more than 35 buildings in the fort complex.

Driving on Sandy Hook, Highlands NJ - Alien Attack
Take a ride on one of the many beautiful roads on Sandy Hook.
This ride starts off viewing just a portion of Fort Hancock, which nestles the oldest light house in United States. This lighthouse used to be right next to the ocean, but is now landlocked by over a mile due to the strong currents that are present in the area.
As we come around, you have Sandy Hook Bay on one side and the old Officers Quarters on the other side. There is an Osprey nests in one of the chimneys. Thats Atlantic Highlands and Highlands NJ across the bay.
At the end of Officers Row, you can briefly spot some Nike Missiles on display on the left.
Nice scenic road.
Then all of a sudden, an alien spaceship started shooting at me w a pink laser. It started screwing up the music and moving the camera. So I got the hell out of there, quick!
Screw that construction working guy!
This pleasurable ride terminates in a parking lot, where there are many more Nike Missiles, which make me feel safe from the aliens w the pink lasers.
