Our camp is located just a few miles from a Marine Base. Thus, we are privy to a lot of military action. For example: It's not unusual to follow a tank down the highway, jets fly over every day, helicopters buzz our camp each evening between 8:30 and 9. In fact, they must have been quite low last night because the camper shook and books fell off a shelf in the bedroom. The DH was sleeping and thought we'd had an earthquake! But the epitome was last weekend when the guys were exploding old ammunition in the desert a couple of miles away. Everybody came running out to see what was going on---we thought we were being invaded. This area is similar to the environment in Iraq so the troops are trained here and they make life very interesting for the old fogies!
