As far as filing, I'd file for a nearby civillian airport with an approach and when you get close ask for a practice GCA at a military field.
What time this wee were you down here in Socal? The March GCA covers the practice area for the Redlands flight school that I've been flying out of. And they're even fine with civvies doing approaches (as I did one this past week actually). Unfortunately, they don't do PARs anymore.

Well, I may see what we can do otherwise. The flight will probalby be along the coast up toward San Fran and back (or at least Monterey area). Thanks for all the advice thus far.
