Exploring Alcatraz Island - The most famous prison in America

Today's adventure takes us to San Francisco, California and to the most famous prison in America....Alcatraz. Prior to becoming the prison that we are familiar with, Alcatraz Island was used as a military prison during the Civil War. In the early 1900's, the Alcatraz Prison that we see now was built. The prison housed over 300 prisoners and was known simply as "The Rock". So come join me as we explore Alcatraz Island.

Did you manage to get over to the Golden Gate Bridge and check out Old Fort Point? Just as fascinating as the Rock, and much easier to explore since it’s on dry land, right under the bridge. It dates back to the Civil War

@@MiddleAgedBaldGuy While you are there, try the electric bike company that you ride a bike over the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito. We did that and it was AMAZING! after you get into Sausalito, you take the boat back into San Francisco and ride back to the station where you got the bike. believe me, you need the motor of the bike to get around San Francisco
