No bomb at Fort De Soto

By Times Staff Writer
Published April 18, 2004

Fort De Soto Park closed Tuesday morning and about 95 campers were evacuated during the examination of metal objects found during construction of a bridge along the main access road.

Crews were concerned that a bomb may have been left behind from when the park was used as a bombing range. After an old dredge pipe and other benign objects were found, the park reopened at 3 p.m.
