hey lumpy ...........

got a " crew  of   people "  together for a return visit to the 
TCUB ........  and went to  a large number of places as suggested by
our own people and a rash of others that sent " interesting places to
check out " to my  web mail drop.  had a truck load of equipment to
boot. 

thought we'd be able to " once and for all " lay waste to all the
remaining  issues and questions about the place.  should have
been a simple thing. 

in the end we left with more questions than we answered .. ah ah aha
...... it's says something about the place , doesn't it, ....... that
" we " can't   totally lay waste to the myths about that area ?

if there " ever " was anything there , it's been mostly LONG GONE 
( removed , erased  , etc, )  for at least 15 or 20 years , at the
very least.  

IF  there was something there , it has been shrunken and withdrawn
back into the ridge of smallish mountains on the back , western , side
of the site.  

nearly ALL of the older interesting satellite shown sites of interest 
have nothing of interest NOW ..... however ....... there is evidence
of the earth being disturbed and ( looks like ) something changed or
removed in nearly ALL those same places. ALL  the remaining satellite
locations of interest ( based upon the new acme sat photos )  have
been intentionally made unaccessible  ( even to the balsy people I
take with me and THAT is saying a lot )   and one would need a 
ultralight or helicopter to get in and take a  better look.      

myself , I still don't  subscribe to the underground base ideal
completely .....BUT .... something is certainly going on in places
there that people don't want others to find out about.  this and I'm
not talking about the pot growers that proliferate the area either.
I think it could most easily  be illegal mining in protected areas
that some people don't want other people ..... that or something
similar to that , somehow.  possibly people basically " mining "
indian or prehistoric artifacts , for example , or who knows what. 
it could even be covert " meth labs " ....... bit it's something that
people with a LOT of money  are into .  it just doesn't " smell "
like a government operation .... but then most private  civilian
contractor operations never do .  ha ha ha ha ha  

the place remains an enigma ....... guess that's kinda fun
isn't it ? ......  ( if it's drug manufacturing , better stay WAY
away from those places , tho ...... or take LOTS of care there &  take
lots of people and BIG guns with you ,  as  we did  <g>   )
