Yep.  It was almost spooky walking around that place.

Looks like a fun road trip.  Shows who's hardcore to make a trip to San Diego, and most won't make a trip from Tucson to Phoenix for a game.

Looks like you guys had a blast!!

Benn, Its the housing at March Air Force Base.  Its where Operation Restore Order was held at.



Here's me, walking across.



Nuke extraction.



Ed and Kevin, loading the nuke.



Skylar.



Map of where we played.  The buildings outnumbered the players.

Cool. We should plan more trips like this as an org. show em what we're made of up in Cali. Kinda would be nice to get of the state for more than just LC and Irene (which i couldn't even go to...).

So, I'm confused. You guys joined up with some folks from San Diego but you ended up at March AFB? That's a bit of a commute....... And where did those lovely vehicles come from?

Woody, those are pics of Operation : Restore Order which was in like, 2002 or 2003 I think.

We played in Riverside, but we wanted to stop by March AFB's housing area, Arnold Heights, I believe it's called. There won't be an ROII, so we had our own!

We got all over in California. Riverside, San Diego, Escondido. I wanted to go see Greg but he's at Genius School right now, I think. That and I'm not sure if I want to see what the anti-gun California has turned him into. I want to keep my happy memories of Zussman alive.

I thought that March AFB was slated to be demolished?   Since it is still there it would be cool to have an event there again.

They won't let us near there again.. Its expensive to rent the land and then even though its slated for destruction. They circle all existing damage with blue paint. After the event they come through again and check for new "damage" and charge you. Its to bad cause it was a great field

Thanks for coming out on saturday guys. Always welcome to come back.

Thanks for having us, Cody.

Was a great time. That's better than some games we have here in Arizona. You, Jeff and Darren are welcome to come out here any time your schedules and your wallets can manage.

We bought the Irene DVD after we left at AEX (not as cool as anticipated) and you are in it quite a bit looking pretty fuckin cool.

Hope to see you at LCV. Good luck, Corpsman.
