hey Miso .........

have you taken notice of the two new
 " wells " they installed  out on one of our favorite places ?  they
put them in last year !

while they were running the drilling rigs  I  stopped and asked them
about what they were doing. (  It looked odd to me that " they'd have
such " serious " type of drilling equipment and so many expensive rigs
operating , all at the same time )   several attempts only brought "
you'll  have to talk to the boss "  or " I just run the rig .. and
follow orders "  type answers.   finally , one stop to try again ,  an
engineer   type  said they were drilling wells to monitor the possible
spread of contaminated ground water  from the NTS. I thought that was
a decent plausible answer to say the least.   this was during the (
odd  )  final clean up phase when they were bulldozing ( huh ?? ) the
desert and making it look all pretty again. (  the standard , hiding
the debris,  tactic used all over that  place )    " that's great "  I
said ......... "  but ........ why'ja drill  and CASE  those huge 38"
diameter  holes ( instead of the usual standard
6" or 8"  test well casing )  and line the casing with a step ladder
and have those steel cap hatches that lock only  from the inside ???
"   (  I'm sure as soon as someone reads this post , the appearance of
this'll be corrected  ha hahahah    )   the engineer got a funnie look
on his face and said he had to take care of some business and left. (
actually drove off in his truck )

it's interesting that those " wells "  just happen to coincide with
one of the first  ( off the base )  tunnels that I ever found out
there.  the one that " keeps on keeping on  " for a long way. ( don't
want to mention where it goes or exactly where it is , but I'd guess
you know exactly where I'm talk'in about ) .

obviously there's really nothing unusual about tunnels or access
hatches around those parts , for sure , but I thought it was unusual
that " they'd " put them in such obvious and easily located / seen
places.  places where a zillion people are going to notice  them.
these must be pretty important / necessary for them to have  done
that.  dunno if  it's some kinda OSHA requirement or because of some
potentially  serious   emergency  escape needs ....... interesting
never the less.  who knows .. maybe the NEW way to test ground water
plumes   is to climb several hundred feet down a steel ladder and test
the water in  person , by hand !!!  ah ahaha ha ha   Pumps !! .....
wee donn need no stink'in pumps !!

in fact,  maybe the " real " purpose of the tunnel actually IS for
keeping an eye on the  spread of contamination and radiation from the
base .......  and maybe  ( even ) those hatches are for inspectors to
access the contamination monitoring  tunnel eliminating the need to go
onto the secret base to get into them ( tho locking from the inside
makes that look less of a possibility ) ........ they just might have
drilled that huge tunnel for the sole purpose of  contamination
monitoring !!   related to the Yucca Mountain repository
stuff ??   ( ha ha ah haha h )  anything's possible  ..............

I noticed the big ass well head very close to the intersection of the
ET Highway and GLR. It is really far away from the "action." If it is
environmental, a report should show up in the ususual places (NTS,
Nellis, DRI).

>From the reports I've seen, the plume heads to the west (i.e. Pahrump).
