Schmidt Park, at the Southern California Logistics Airport (formerly George Air Force Base) has been the site of our Shire anniversary for the last several years, and we also hosted the 2005 Spring Crown there.  It has some distinct advantages.  There is good grass to camp and fight on throughout the entire park.  There are lots of trees to provide shade. While part of the City of Victorville, it is at the north end of the City in the old air force base (which is being developed as an industrial area) and we have it all to ourselves.  We have the use of the showers at the gymnasium across the street and there is a location nearby that we can use for archery.  Parking is on a paved, though neglected, adjacent parking lot that used to serve military dorms.

Because of the isolated location of the park, we were able to obtain permission to have a weekend event there and permission to have alcohol in the park.  So, this is not a dry site. 

THE CITY OF VICTORVILLE IS AGAIN BEING ALLOWED ALCOHOL AT HIGHLAND WAR.  WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLY SO WE CAN CONTINUE THIS PRIVILEGE.  VIOLATIONS OF ALCOHOL REGULATIONS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Directions: Take I-15 to the North side of Victorville. Take the "D" street exit, at the bottom of the off ramp, turn left (North) onto National Trails Highway (also called "D" street).  At the first traffic signal turn left (West) on Air Expressway. Turn right on George Blvd. (the 3rd signal) into Southern California Logistics Airport (Old George AFB). George Blvd. bends left; Schmidt Park is on the left.  In case of late arrival, the gate on George Blvd may be locked. Take Phantom West onto the base, It has a stop light, then the second street on the right will be Mustang. Follow Mustang all the way to the park. Beware of the deep v dips in the road.
