Trepanning aside, it might have been possible for a person with monkeylike agility to get over Fort Snelling's wall at this point...and though I've certainly acted in a monkeylike fashion on other occasions, now was neither the time nor place. Figuring that this would be as close as I would be able to get into Fort Snelling, I left an official Starforts.com rock in this firing embrasure, with the Officers' Quarters looming before me.
