This is the offloading port where the US government will drive special boats up and offload rocket boosters for all kinds of missile programs and such. Space X, NASA and a few others...The jetty in the back is to block the big waves and these pylons are part of the guide system to offload those missile components. I got a behind the scenes tour of the base... will probably go back again when the weather is good.

Thank you for the comments as well

Thank you Tessfully As always it's a pleasure reading your kind words. Sometimes I think you say nice stuff just to say nice stuff.

BTW did you hear about the major Canadian traffic jam? It was at a 4 way stop. All the drivers were insisting the other go first...

It's on the central coast of California a few hours north of LA. On Vandenberg AFB. Closed to the public but my host here has 100% access to everywhere on base... keys to every lock. We spent a day out there the other day and I took 400 shots. Its beautiful. Back in the 1950's or 60's sometime the Feds bought a massive ranch that bordered their base and its been left to its own devices and undeveloped at all since (for the most part). The ranch is called the Sudden Ranch which is now part of the military base.

Grand total 99,000 acres of pristine lands...I have a lot of exploring left to do
