Naval air base out in the desert in the small quient town of Fallon. Great area to park your car and watch the Navy jets fly by about every 30min or so doing maneuvers. Pretty cool. Temps can get pretty hot in the summer.

Small base, sidewalks roll up at 1900 hrs. Gateway Inn is on base past the main gate; Navy Lodge is located at the entrance to Family House across the street from the main gate. As we were towing an expensive motorcycle we opted for on base security.
