    I hope this building gets recognized as a National Historic Site. How many bathrooms have that honor? This one is at the end of my old Company Street in the 200 area of Camp Johnson. Years after first utilizing the facility, my fellow runners and I had to clean it up after it had been abandoned for many years. I remember 4-5 toilets on each side of a low wall (wide enough to sleep on top of) that contained their plumbing, a couple rows of sinks along the outside walls with polished metal (unbreakable) mirrors, and a big rectangular shower room of about 12'x16' with 6-8 shower heads per side. No dividers, curtains, partitions anywhere. I clearly remember sitting on toilets in this style head and sharing newspapers with Marines using the toilets on either side of me and pitching rolls of toilet paper to guys who were too far away.

    This was the Marine Corps that I remember from the the late 1970's to somewhere in the mid 80's. Mostly unchanged from the 1940's. Now it's "historic." :)

    I like the M12, it's the heaviest of my heavy barrels. Makes the Kimber M82G look like a boys rifle. With peep sights or scope it's a hoot! It's really cool to be able to watch the impacts through the glass at 100 yards. :)

    My buddy Dave and I outside the Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale Wyoming.
    The first time we had our display of original rifles and articles from the fur trade on display inside...that was a fun trip .

    My eyes couldn't match the rifles capability today in this light. Yeah, yeah, the light.

    That's what it was... the light. ;)

    I learned something about my phones picture taking ability. It isn't as automatic as I thought. After taking this shot and the one yesterday I realized it was on "night portrait" setting. That explains the graininess of these images.
