During Project OXCART (development of the Lockheed A-12 "Blackbird"), recreational facilities at Area 51 included a gymnasium, movie theatre, nine-hole golf course, and a softball diamond.
The Area 51 softball team was called the 8-Ballers. "The Bulletin Board," an unclassified newsletter published by Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Company (REECo) for Nevada Test Site (NTS) employees regularly posted articles about Test Site sporting events. Throughout the 1960s, headlines such as "Area 51 Wins Slow-Pitch Tournament" were common and many of the players were listed by name. I've had the pleasure of meeting several of them.

That's about typical for a military base, along with some sort of Post Exchange store...heheh. It's about the same in White Sands, stopped by there to get gas, last week while driving thru that area.

Your location shows as Ashraf, Iraq, your ISP is occasionally in the Netherlands, and you visited White Sands in New Mexico, USA last week?
Busy travelling schedule!?
