Base Photos

The base is on leased land.  It used to be a resort but was destroyed in the earthquake.  A team came in two weeks afterwards and started developing what is there now.  It is clean and tidy and situated at the bottom of the mountains that run along the coast.  The other side of the base is along the ocean, about sixty or so feet from the water.  The wave action is minimal but the view is quite nice.
