Yes, the Pinatubo eruption in 1991 effectively closed the base at Clark:Volcanic Ash Impacts & Mitigation - Pinatubo 1991.NSGA Clark Airbase closed on October 28, 1991. – Station HYPO.Just to clarify, my Dad did not actually take the photos above, he just sent them to me. He currently lives in Baguio City which is in the northern part of Luzon. He is getting ready to move to the extreme southern part of the island, about 60 miles south of the Mayon Volcano. Interestingly, where he is moving to is less than 20 miles from another volcano called Mount Bulusan. It's only the fourth most active volcano in the Philippines so no worries! Mount Bulusan - WikipediaI was with the 6922 Security Sq. I followed the news of the eruption and the closure of ops as much as I could. By 1991 I had been out of the USAF for 15 years so only followed the news and web sites. Also the Security Service Command had changed names making it difficult to follow news. 1 Likes

When the light is right, it creates the illusion of flames coming out of the ruin.ArtMany years or actually decades ago we camped in an alcove outside of Moab that was full of petroglyphs. We moved in and lived there two weeks making fires to cook over in the ancient alcove within an alcove that had been used for hundreds of years. It sat up fairly high on the hill with a beautiful view across the desert and in the evening the stars seemed brighter than possible. There was something magical about it and it is the single best camping experience we ever had. Never saw a soul the whole time we were there and it was almost like we had been transported back in time. I truly miss the Moab that used to be before the crowds and constant drone of ATVs but i thank God I did get to experience that in this lifetime. 5 Likes

Most are not "on the maps" to provide them some protection. For those who can handle crawling and scrambling over scree it is a marvelous area. Just pick a canyon.

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1324 – December 10, 2020, 10:57:50 am Mike,We stayed at Anza Borrego Desert State Park campground at Borrego Palm Canyon. The bighorns like the palm canyon and often come down to get water. We were there over two trips of just under a week each, one in the dry camping area and one in the full hookup. Both camping areas were very nice and we met three other Lazy Daze owners during our stay. For those who have enjoyed staying in the Rockhouse Canyon, that area is now closed and patrolled, and there are no campers to be seen.As for Sandstone Canyon, it is a nice slot canyon south of the town of Ocotillo Wells and inside the ABD park in the Split Mountain Gorge and Fish Creek Wash. Jeep-sized vehicles can go almost all the way to the end, depending on the vehicle and driver ability, but vehicles wider than a Jeep will have difficulties with some of the tight spots. Our friends watched a Lexus SUV negotiate a serious rock fall. Fish Creek Wash is a beautiful area with lots of great exploring and hiking.With December daytime temperatures of 75 - 85F and night time between 45 - 50F, the weather was perfect for camping, hiking, and bicycling.Harold 2 Likes
