Moved to Port Hueneme, CA

Escapees 2013 Rose Parade HOP

We moved from Castaic, CA over to the Fairways RV Resort located on the Seabee base at Port Hueneme, CA today.  It was a short one and a half hour drive after saying goodbye to all our new friends (see picture, above) from the Escapees group that we were with this past week.  These tours are call HOPs - Heading Out Programs), and this was our second one.

It's been quite a while since I've spent a lot of time on a base.  But it didn't take us long to get back into being on a base.  Within two hours of arriving, we were being yelled at.  Yep, I have a unique way of irritating base management personnel, always have...and it appears I haven't lost my touch!  All is well, though.  We had parked the truck with a couple of tires on the grass while we unloaded groceries before moving the truck to a separate parking lot.  (Yep, you're not to park on grass - only on pavement & dirt.)  I did the same thing while in flight school at NAS Meridian, MS and got the same treatment.  Some things never change!  Anyway, as you can see, we've already hit up the commissary for groceries and the commissary here is well sized, clean and well stocked.

The Fairways RV Resort is a nice little RV park stuck off to the side of the CBC Port Hueneme's golf course.  It's got about 30 spots, and there's another group of two to three dozen more spots under construction.  Sites are all concrete pads with 50 amp service.  All of it designed to blend in with the golf course.  Of course 50 yards away are the typical construction battalion warehouses, dirt parking lots, etc, that make this a true Seabee base.  As this is our first time to stay on a military base, it looks like we picked a good one.

Now, of I can just stay off the grass!
