Tama Hills

This past weekend brought us to a retreat off base owned by the US government.  Tama Hills is about 40 minutes from the base and literally is surrounded by city but you feel very much like you are in the country.  There are cabins spread out across the area with numerous camping sights available as well.  Hiking, archery, paintball, horseback riding, and miniature golf are some of the activities for the kids.  The Kever kids however were very content to just explore the woods around our cabin.

Tama Hills, during WWII was a bit of a hiding place for the Japanese Imperial Army for their ammunition.  In fact the US did not know it existed until after the war, and we in turn used it for the Korean conflict.  There are numerous of these shelters built into the side of the mountains and we had a great time exploring them on Saturday.
