I went to PLDC there about 18 years ago. Unless it's drastically changed, there's nothing nearby.
Come to think of it, I never got the Achievement Medal they promised me. Tell those morons to fix that! |

Parker's Smoke house BBQ is the shit , right off the main road. HWY 6 I believe.
Other than that , the fine people of the Corps of Engineers had a solid plan to relocate the whole town and flood the entire surrounding are for a gigantic recreational lake project. Would have been nice to have a decent lake around here but the locals said no go. There isn't shit in Ashland . Not even cool old buildings . Should've taken the offer . |

As for the base itself, it was tiny. The BX was about the size of my master bedroom/bathroom suite. They had a little area and a table so you could sit and drink a beer or two in the evening. If you look on Google Earth, you can probably get a better idea of the layout of the base.

Thanks for the replies, I found out that I will have a few days off after the school and I don't have to come home right away so I thought since I've never been in that area of the country before I may as well take a little detour back to WI and maybe go north a little to SD and on to MN and such and just have fun!

Camp Ashland is a pit. They run a lot of AD, reserve and NG guys through PLDC there but there's nothing there, period. I don't even think they have ranges for small arms.
Some of the barracks are old Cavalry horse stalls and they look the part. Good Luck! |

Billeting was pretty pathetic back then. Well, the "new and improved" SAC museum is pretty close, it's now the Strategic Air and Space museum. They moved it right off of I 80 smack between Omaha and Lincoln in the middle of BFE for some reason. Henry Doorly Zoo has a nice drive-thru animal park (all North American animals) close by if you're REALLY going jonesing for something to do. |
