Went there once IIRC, had my 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria parked on the
base and was able to get out and around Mass and RI on occasion. Being a
born and bred East Texas boy I was fascinated by all the rock walls,
rock barns, houses, etc. Used to drive the countryside a lot just
looking. Wasn't much on drinking or chasing B-girls so found other
sources of entertainment (I was already engaged to be married to DW at
that time.) Very interesting countryside but too cold for me when winter
came.
