Pendleton may very well be a long way away from LA and the Colony in Z-time, but the score might be worth the trip. Even for fuel for the chopper alone. I remember always seeing the Marines running drills with their choppers out there when I was a kid. And the ammo score might be worth it if there is still any left to be had. It seems like if there were more fuel for the chopper that some of the scouting and supply runs to farther off locations could be done much easier, and you would have another emergency exit plan like they used it for when Irwin when boom.
Plus it doesn't seem like we have heard of any venturing too far south of the colony (that doesn't mean they haven't been doing it of course, just that we haven't heard about it). There are a lot of gas stations in Orange County that could be siphoned to help with the fuel shortages. If they could head inland too towards Corona/Norco there are a lot of fruit orchards and some cattle/horse ranches still. Not sure how many animals would still be alive at this point, but relocating some more trees and the possibility of picking up some more livestock to have a more sustainable food source could be worth the trip. Lots of options really.
