Drove hours to get here, and while you can't enter the gates area a picture can be taken from outside the gates. We drove off the pavement to the gravel road for a better angle. Smoke from the western wildfires made things very hazy. There was no guard or sheriff to kick us off the road.

Old abandoned military base left over from the cold war. A large pyramid still stands that was used for the missile defense program.
