I am familiar with your area, I was stationed at North island Naval Air Station for about a year and a half in the early 1970s. My roommates and I spent many after-duty hours on the beach between the southwest gate of the NAS and the Hotel del Coronado. and even were able to rent a house just a few blocks from the beach by pooling our BAQ and "comrats." I look forward to enjoying your blog.

I'll bet it was fun here in the 70's! Welcome aboard, Wayne.

It was fun. We would often have picnics and cookouts on the beach and the fact that us E-4 & E-5 bachelor sailors often brought a case or two of cold beer with us from the commissary, we were quite popular.
