At the site.

I've always loved the windswept look of the trees along Eureka Hill Road, just as it leaves the town of Point Arena.

At the motor pool. It was the motor pool in 1968, and it is still the motor pool in 2008.

the old BX site. My recall of the BX was that it was up by motor pool. I got to paint it once as part of being on squadron detail.

W.C. Lake standing at the entrance to one of the Barracks buildings. I think this was the one that he and I lived in (closet one to the chow hall). His room would have been thru the door, and immediately to the right.

Across the street from the cafe. I think the Mercantile used to be Garcia's?

The old gas station, and what was Disotell's restaurant just past it. Looking north.
