The misses and I have gone for bike rides out there a few times. It's a pretty cool place to check out if you've never seen it.

lots of trails through the woods there too.
Fishing in the moonshadow of the golfball used to be one of my favorite pastimes.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

It sure gets spooky as it starts getting dark.

Do a bunch of walks up there over the winter.
The first time, I scaled the fence to get a close-up look at some of the buildings - thought the Men in Black were going to come knocking at my door after that - who knows, maybe they did?
Always thought it would be great for affordable housing, or some big summer camp for dis-advantaged kids, all those houses - which probably would require knock-down - but still, what a place!

The only fence that was a bit intimidating for me to get close to is the one around the golfball. Maybe it's the signs that claiming an open shoot-to-kill order for trespassers.
You really want that much affordable housing moving into Truro? The summer camp is a really good idea. There's a ton of land for activities and whatnot.

Rich and Tuna...maybe we should all suggest to the rangers, that when they close for the boyds, the sand beetles and the terrapin turtles, they should let us all park there, use the houses for R&R...and take the path down to access the fishing.....
the campers could all jam door handle to door handle onto the Helipad..

The first time I really explored the place I stumbled upon the officers' housing section. A true ghost town. It's as if everybody was just going about their business and then suddenly everyone was gone. The see-saw and merry-go-round are still in the children's playground. I find it a cool but eerie place.
There is a marine research group that uses some of the office buildings and of course the Payomet artists and other entertainment is in the tent.
Very cool place to check out.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
