I visited Mount Caledon, in Caledon-on-Sea, to explore the old fort. There I discovered a property next to the preserve, owned by Miss Mathilda Islay, dubbed the Mount Caledon Reserve.
The reserve has a spot to enjoy a scenic view (and perhaps a boxed lunch with a special someone - or, heck, just go alone and eat it all yourself!), and a hidden bathing area, nestled under an overhang of the mountain. I could tell you all that I went skinny-dipping, but that would most likely be a fib. Wouldn't it?

The Fort is a former smuggler's outpost from the more lawless days of Caledon's past. If you go all the way to the bottom of the inside ramps you find access to the caves, which will also take you to another rather surprising exit.
"...of Caledon's past." Hmm. Suffice it to say that the number of pirate outfits sold in BlakOpal alone might suggest that those days appear to be with us still.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I recall that I had a Journal entry a considerable time ago regarding the Cay wherein I discovered the exit - in reverse. The odd thing is that I never discovered the outpost. Sometimes the most difficult things to see are those right in front of you.
But I appreciate the clarification, sir. I thought - as did Miss Kathy - that the structure was designed as a military outpost...although, now that you tell me otherwise, perhaps the hidden exit should have given us a clue. :)
