Travis AFB

We spent a few nights at Travis AFB, just north of San Francisco in Fairfield. We did our usual routine at military camps – hit the commissary, exchange, gym, etc. There’s usually good WiFi for work. The gym was really nice here, especially compared to the few we’d seen recently. But hey, no complaints when it’s free!

The gym has an unusual track, like it was laid out around buildings to get the quarter mile distance. I don’t think you’ll get a personal best on your PRT, but it’s more interesting than an oval.

It was nice weather while we were there, so we took walks each day. We played a round of disc golf, though we kinda had to make up the course as we went along. I don’t know if it just wasn’t well mapped out or very old and not used often. We saw the baskets but none of the tee areas. It was near a road with parked cars, so we avoided one basket close to them. I’m not so confident of my aim; better safe than sorry.

We also checked out their bowling alley. It’s been a long time since we’ve bowled, and it showed in our first game! Ben beat me each game, but at least I got over 100 twice.

We ventured off base the next day. We headed to Lagoon Valley Park in Vacaville. We walked around the lagoon and then ventured up the hill. It was a decent hike up, and we got to see a gorgeous view of the surrounding area. There were plenty of cattle on the hillside enjoying the view as well.

Here’s a view of the lagoon.
