For those of you that are computer-savvy and are willing to give Google Earth a try, you can see the entire camp there.If you navigate to Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, you'll be close. Dhahran is halfway between and a bit west of Dammam and Al Khobar. These towns are on the Persian Gulf coast (east coast) of Saudi Arabia. If you get close, you can't miss the golf course.
Here's a fairly low-res screen shot of camp (low-res only because I dragged it into PowerPoint to add the annotation AND because the phone-as-wireless-modem setup is slow and chokes on large files).
Main Camp encompasses most of the original camp. There is only one original building left from the original camp that was established in 1938 and it is scheduled to be torn down in a couple of years. The Dhahran Hills housing area was built later and is about 20 years old, I believe.

I want to see photos of housing! So happy to be able to hear from you more regularly now! Miss you!
I'm working on the housing posts and photos. So much to tell!

Nice to see where you and the pups are hanging out. Keep all the photos and stories coming. Was so good to "see" the pups again. Dyna and Bhumi send their love and want you to know that they're absolutely being spoiled rotten.
