Hi, I wonder - there is a website that has lots of info on this, and there is a still shot from "Goober's Contest," in which Aunt Bee and Opie are shown in Aunt Bee's car, sitting in the line at Goober's station. In the background are visible the guard house by the fence (it was also in the scene where Opie and his friends were practicing football, in "Opie's Piano Lesson.") and part of one of the Quonset huts! The website has an aerial map of the area, showing that the barrack part of the U.S.M.C. set was right across the road from Goob's station. Cousin Goob didn't have to go that far to visit with Cousin Gome! haha ;-)
Here's the link to that photo: http://www.retroweb.com/40acres/wallys_view_west_1024.jpg Here's the web page it came from: http://www.retroweb.com/40acres_tour_pt4.html Hope you enjoy this site!
