I was stationed there 68-71 ,work out at the East range. Am from Hawaii and I was totally surprised when I came out of the comm center and found my jeep and the compound covered with a foot of snow. Soooo much fun.

@gildotherotweiler Then you havent been looking very hard. It snows like that about once a year. I have been living here since 1980 and in an average year we see snow once or twice during the winter.

The TBM on Fry Blvd reads an elevation of 4774.

There was nothing about Sierra Vista that was ever remarkable, or worth the effort of the CAP.

I lived there from '77-'80. Law enforcement was vicious, and we used to have to be bused for more than 90 minutes for our football games.

The one good thing about Sierra Vista is that it has a fault line that paralelles the San Andreas; so if California zippers, so will Sierra Vista. 85% of the San Pedro runs underground, check the data.

I lived in Ft. Huachuca when I was growing up, it was 1970, I was 11 years old.

As a kid it was great, many fond memories. It was beautiful. My friends & I would take the bus & go wherever we wanted. There was always so much to do. We were lucky.

I have always wanted to come back & visit, I can imagine it has changed a lot.

Loved Sierra Vista too!

Man, I thought Missouri got cold in the winter until I got caught up in a hail storm at the base in AZ in the smoke pit by the 305th bays.

3 days later i was still freezing my ass off, lol. I really don't think I left the bays once on the 4 day

I never knew quite how high it was, but it was perfect for the storms coming over the mountains. Those were the most beautiful lightning displays I've ever seen.

I was there with the army for six months and I saw my first snow there in Jan 86. People don't realize that SV sits a mile high. I woke up one morning in the BOQ at Ft. Huachuca, looked out the window, saw real snow and noticed my '71 Cutlass was under 4" of snow!

Funny, I'm not from anywhere near there but I spent 6 months there in the Army from 07/85 through 01/86 taking the Military Intel Officer's Basic Course. I was so into what I was doing, I didn't enjoy my time there unfortunately. It was quite beautiful there, in a special sort of way. I looked it up to catch a glimpse of my past.
