I went through UPT at Del Rio, we went to Cannon on XC too. After a good look around on arrival, I remember asking someone in base ops, "So...What's there to do here?"
The answer was; Pack a cooler and go to White Sands, pretend you are at a beach!
They have plenty of white sand, not much water.
It did make Del Rio look like Palm Beach. At least Del Rio had; 1. The Lake, 2. The River, and 3. Mexico on Friday nights!
