Not for nothing but Pendelton has one of the nicest golf courses I've played on. Next would be Quantico and believe it or not 29Palms has a nice one for being sod on top of desert and the fact that I'm banned for life from that course. (long story). If I also remember right some of the base housing either borders or is not that far from the course.

LOL. Not the first time Pendelton has had some pretty big brush/wild land fires. Wonder if someone "forgot" the tracer/incidiary ban.

ALS,

Nahh, just the brush around these parts is drier than an armadillo's skin in Texas in July. Any hot piece of shrapnel will light it off right now. 3rd fire of over 400 acres in a month on the base... Basically doing line work this morning, not even using fixed wing assets on the fire.

As for the 29 Palms story, I'd love to here it sometime. I got banned from a base during my time in the Air Force....
