Wanna buy a Fort?

ROUSES POINT, N.Y. May 20, 2006 (AP)— A Civil War-era fort is for sale on eBay. Fort Montgomery, built in 1844, was manned during the war but never saw any action.

"This is the first time it's been formally for sale," said Victor Podd of Boca Raton, Fla., whose family has owned the fort for 23 years.

The limestone fort sits on a Lake Champlain island in northern New York and is connected to the mainland by a 700-foot causeway. The full package offered on the auction Web site includes 6,900 feet of lake frontage and 279 acres on the adjacent mainland.

As of Saturday, the top bid for the property was $1 million.

We could use the fort to protect our northern boarder...

How about we put the money to good use and spend it on rehabbing Fort Wilderness on Tom Sawyer's Island?

Now there's a fort I'd invest money in.

Yes we can. If every MiceChatter sends me $160 I will buy us a fort. We'll put in a rope bridge, tree house, and a grist mill. We will also update it with a pool, WiFi internet access, and hot pool boys.
