Roosevelt Roads Bundy Drive

[@alhhewitt]

Enjoy seeing these videos you post. I was stationed there 1962 to 1964. Have seen a lot of old familiar places. I was in Ships Dept and then Personnel. At the time I was there Personnel Office was in same area as the mess hall across from the Bundy barracks. They had just recently opened the new EM Club next to the Mariposa and Base Security was just a small building up on the hill. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks for what you do.

That was a very enjoyable journey! I was trying to follow along using Google Earth - kind of challenging at times. After you had initially passed the old theater and eventually turned right towards Bundy, if you had turned left instead of right, would that have taken you to the Hospital? Also, if you had continued straight, I think it would have taken you up the hill to where the old Officer's Club and BOQ are/were located. I hope you find the time to make it to both the Hospital and the BOQ/Officer's Club some day. Thank you for all of your efforts!!!

❤ When I first came on board we went to check in at admin. then we were taken to the old barracks in Bundy. My husband and I saw Stars Wars when it first came out. It had a family room in the back it was sound proof and we took our baby with us. Thank you for sharing. Oh and in that area you could rent cars. On base only you got VW beetles and off base you got to choose from different cars. Our first car there when we bought one was a 1964 Toyota Corolla. Only paid $500 for it. Great little car. These bring back so many memories. I wish I could locate some of the people we were stationed with there.

I never got to go down that road. Thanks for the tour.

We used to get on the bus in the housing area and take it to the golf course and go play golf when we were 11 to 13 years old. No adults. We play and then have a soda and them catch the bus back home. Also used to spend time and the stables (again without adults-riding the bus).

Thank you, Sammy. we are following all around Roosevelt Roads. I was stationed there from Jan. 91 to Nov. 97 VC-8. Didn't want to leave. My wife and I talked about maybe moving back to P.R.

Wow, so much has grown up! I remember the movie theater and the old high school football fields across from it. Wasn't the Mariposa in that area as well? If you took a left a little down the road, you would go up a hill where there were some old barracks that were used as classrooms when the elementary school was being worked on half of my 4th grade year. The buildings were shabby and there were huge rats in the bathroom building, but it was lovely there under the trees. If you took a right, you would go past the old library on the left, then the commissary and exchange buildings on the right, and I think there was a barber or beauty salon across the street from there. Thanks so much for showing what it's like now!

Another great video, Sammy! I look at Hornet Road #10 and can't see the roof. I wonder if it's possible to reach it. There used to be Beautiful views from the top of Hornet Road.

Wow Sammy. It's amazing how far mother nature has reclaimed the land. That whole drive (Bennington) was open and maintained as far back as possible. Many beers at the lodge on the greens. They had a great little pizza place up there as well. Miss it. Is Tarawa opened to traffic all the way to Forestall and Langley?

I lived in the Bundy Barracks in 72 and 73 when I was a Hospital Corpsman stationed at the old hospital. I was hoping the video would show the barracks and the hospital. It's sad how they abandoned the base and let the jungle take over. I remember eating at the Mariposa and partying at the EM club.

Gracias, Sammy! I wish you could access the location where the old dental clinic was, next to the base commander's office building.

Basically looks a little like el junke already . Sammy i was wandering if anyone have any videos from the closing of the base that will be really interesting to see . Thanks for the videos Sammy

[@sergeromero7100]

love to see the crash shack area

[@bethfischerhomes]

Can you get into Chicken Jose's? Curious to see what that looks like now.

[@mikelindner2646]

Isn’t there a road from nagaubo to ceiba that’s kind of in the jungle like this? Not this bad but I remember it being similar.
