While Vic and Delaine were here we went to the nasa complex off of Goldstone and took a tour of the satellites. Fort Irwin is one of three places that Nasa has theses satellites. Our tour guide was amazing and fun. She was great with the kids. I was also nice that we got to drive around and see a little more of Fort Irwin. Places I had never seen. We even got to see some wild donkeys. =) This link will take you to the NASA website that describes the antennas and what they do.
goldstone nasa complex has three different size Antennas....27, 34,70. I couldn't believe how big they were. At one point we were over by the 34mm antennas and I felt like I was on a scence of Lost. The abandoned buildings and desert just gave me this eerie feeling like when I watched Lost.

| 70mm antennae |

| Left over water from the flood. This explains why the donkeys haven't been on post. Still lots of water in the desert for them. |

| 27mm antenna that no longer works but would cost to much to remove |
