My Dad Thought Fort Knox Had a Gift Shop — He Was Very Wrong  @Barry-Watson

Back in the early 1970s, before cell phones and the internet, my family loaded up our old, beat-up RV for a cross-country road trip. Along the way, my dad had the bright idea to stop at Fort Knox, expecting a gift shop, a tour, and maybe even a few photos. Instead, we were met by armed guards and quickly turned around.

In this video, I share the story of our unexpected misadventure at Fort Knox and why my dad was so surprised by the response.

What do you think is really inside Fort Knox? Do you believe all the gold is still there?
