  • Stationed here in mid-90's on the DCS side during Chief Fernandez' Reign, quite a nice time in a beautiful area. Only regret not going on the blackhawk training missions on our off-time to get some sightseeing done. Hiking, mountain Biking, good food and great people, close to K-town and all it's ammenities that a larger city can offer with a small town feel to it. Since I visit Frankfurt annually for work, I will have to bring my wife to this region to show her the beautiful trails and forrests of this area.
