Walnut Avenue


Well, I know that I've already gotten people to guess the location from satalite images, but I was just looking at Microsoft's new Google Map clone and found this. To the average observer it would mean nothing, but to those who know this mark on the ground was once the base of a top-secret club (the name of which I will not mention online without Snake's permission).

I was just talking to another man the other day who grew up on military bases and we were reminiscing the great times we had. I love Mare Island. I would love to live there or at least go back and visit someday, preferably before they tear our house down.

And here's one that I just thought was awesome, recognize the building on the right? That's right, the Mental/Dental Clinic.

You can mention the name of our top secret orginization, just as long as you don't let any girls join...

okay, so I realized (talking to Mrs. J) that not everyone would be able to figure this one out. That spot in the picture is a hole that Peter, Matt and I dug when we lived in California and it's still there!... also that tree in the bottom right-hand corner is where Matt got a Palm-tree-sharp-thing stuck through his toe.

Of course I don't remember any of that stuff, probably wasn't born yet, but I love memories like that, and I think that is sweet that all those things are still there. Memories are one of my favorite things to think about and discuss with others who remember or don't. Thanks for that Ben!
