Sounds just like my town. Well, 40 years ago. Nowadays we are a Navy town (sub base Bangor) and a stone's throw from one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the country. Gives one a warm fuzzy feeling. Literally.
At BMST I thought I heard an announcement over the somewhat intermittent radio broadcast that a bike from Bremerton, WA was running. That's just down the road from me, another big Navy town (shipyard). Does anyone know if I heard right?
