Yeah I did many work trips to the GM Proving Ground which used to be located in Mesa. That sun is awesome in January and not so good in July.
Absolutely.
When I was getting my bearings, I took a walk around the base, and didn’t see anyone else out walking around. They probably thought I was an idiot.
I walked by the base pool, and there were probably a dozen people in the water, but only their heads were sticking out, which seemed kind of strange to me. I thought maybe at least a few people might have their torso out or something.
When I went to the pool to swim, I realized I only saw their heads because the pool was constructed in such a way that you could lay on an incline with your body pointing to the center of the pool, and only your head would stick out!
Damn, hot place. The locals knew how to live there I guess!
