We will have to get together though Sir. Like I mentioned, the permit for the "Project" looks like it will be approved soon. We will be camping around your area for a bit while working on it.

That would be cool. I would definitely be down for doing something like that. Getting things going for my job down here. So I'll be on a regular week schedule starting this coming Monday. But I'm sure something can be worked out for that

I'm sure we could fit in an early Breakfast or you could come meet and have dinner with the crew. I know you would find it interesting!

But we will be there through a couple weekends too. As long as no one in the same field in your area gets wind we are heading up there, everything should work out. It's a serious cutthroat field and they would "claim jump" us or throw a wrench in the works in a heartbeat. All the gloves are off with these guys in this field, they are greedy, ruthless and have absolutely no scruples.

Unfortunately the world is full of those types of soul-less dirtbags. I certainly won't say anything.
For me... either afternoon-ish on Fridays or weekends will work best with my schedule... so hopefully that pans out. Would love to be a part of things like that.

I'll Buy! I appreciate that, they really get twisted when someone comes in from out of the area.

Well it kinda is in a way... What would start a feud would be the fact that we went straight to the top of the food chain to get approval. Local entities get upset when you go around them and above their head like that. But we have every legal right to do so.

And they gave us no choice because we had dealt with them in the past and it was ugly. But once it is gridded off and the surface is cleared and the paper is clean we are good to go even if they do find out at that point, which they will.

But there will not be anyone there authorized to take chain of custody over the finds like they would want to. Like they have done before. That is why we went around them. That custody thing becomes viscous.

I've seen a few things like that in my day.... it is a vicious cycle.

Couple of runways out in the middle of nowhere in AZ. Can anyone find this location?

Here's a couple more, there are a couple more matching these two down below Gila Bend on the west side of 85. I think they are old military bases. The one with the triangle, square and circles is pretty cool. There are two exactly like that down there. lol

Yeah I have read about those and there is actually one near Phoenix that I think you can drive on, haven't been there yet. Lots of info on all of them here: http://www.airfields-freeman.com/AZ/...Z_GilaBend.htm

The picture I posted above is actually air fields on an active military base. Can you find which one?

I will try to give it a shot in the morning Man. Cool link! looks like all the triangle fields are old auxiliary strips for Luke AFB.

How do you get that type of map that you are taking screenshots of? Is it a google maps feature or something else? it looks way nicer than the screenshots I usually take...

These days Google Maps and Google Earth are almost identical, they just have different locations of the features/functions. On my Windows lap top I use the Snipping Tool. At work on my Mac I use Shift-Command-4 and you can choose the area of the screen to grab (same with the Snipping Tool).

Here is an example of the Snipping Tool I just used on your post above.
