Narrative:

I was piloting an small aircraft from fresno to barstow, daggett, when I found myself over a military field I became aware I was off course. I called edwards approach and requested radar identification. They located me 7 mi south of george AFB. George ATC provided vectors to apple valley. It is possible that I may have inadvertently entered the george AFB, air traffic area, the edwards AFB air traffic area and the restr area surrounding edwards AFB. I was unfamiliar with the area.
