THE SECRET AIR FORCE BASE
Most people don't realize what this land was used for originally. Many years ago, long before the East Bay Regional Parks even existed, this entire area was part of a large military installation called, "Five Bassos Air Force Base." It was only recently that the land was donated to East Bay Parks. For secrecy purposes, they renamed the land, "Five Canyons."
This area was originally the base recreation hall. Many of the airmen would come here to relax, shoot pool, or sometimes try riding the mechanical "bull." Last time I was here, there were still some buildings standing. If you look around, you might even find the bull!
Mechanical Bull
One time, I was thrown off the bull, and lost the geocache I was holding. Is it still there?
