Destination: K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base (decommissioned)
In this episode, I visit the Air Heritage Museum at the decommissioned K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base. As an Air Force vet myself, it was rather bittersweet to see what was once a vital component of our Cold War deterrent strategy abandoned, so to speak, and in such decay. The Air Heritage Museum stands as a testament to the base in its hay-day, and has many of the era aircraft on display. This is a Harvest Host site, so you are welcome to spend the night there and take the museum tour. I found it fascinating. Much to my surprise, as I wandered around the decaying base, many of the buildings were just sitting there open, so you could just walk into rather creepy, possibly haunted old places. Haunted in the sense that the spirit of the Airmen who lived there before remain in some inexplicable fashion. I mean, you didn't really think I meant haunted in the sense of ghosts, did you? Or do I believe in ghosts...? Hmm.
