[PW] Ft Hood

[cvj at hcvco.com]

Fort Hood Military Reservation is one entity, and has been as long as I
can remember, which is a L O N G time.  Now, as to a recreation area,
unless one fancies being shot at, with live ammunition, there isn't one,
for civilians.  There is a golf course, and many othwer amenities on base.
 I live in Abilene, and for most of my life, lived in Fort Worth, so I'm
not dealing with looking something up from scratch, it is in my long time
knowledge base.  Connie
