[Tweeters] Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Eagle's Pride Golf

Ken,

   Thanks for this.  I had never realized how close JBLM is to Nisqually.
It is essentially directly next door.

   I've been to Nisqually - once - but didn't figure out that I was driving
right by Eagle's Pride on the way to Nisqually.  DOH!

   I have had both of these activities on my "I want to do this some day" list
for quite some time - so you may see me joining one or the other of them.  If
you do I hope you will step up and introduce yourself.  I often wear some
kind of hat and always will be carrying my Canon R7 camera.
                                                                   - Jim

P.S. I was just in Olympia yesterday (Sunday) visiting the home of a friend
      not a long ways from Nisqually (he lives near Margaret McKenny Park).
