I tried to get into the airship center at Lakehurst Naval Air Station when I was touring the Jersey Shore after the Getaway in 2000. I couldn't get in because it was an active naval base and it was just after the bombing of the USS Cole. I did get to see some zeppelin hangars and a mooring post through the fence.
Lakehurst is part of a huge government property in the middle New Jersey pine barrens. The property includes Lakehurst, Fort Dix, and McGuire Air Force Base. In 2009, the bases were merged to form Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

I spent my last day in the Army, picking up cigarette butts at Fort Dix and paying for a haircut I didn't want, while clerks processed my discharge paperwork.
