Besides, I figure our old friends from Groom Lake just won't feel at home in their new base unless there is an interceptor or two lurking about in the hills nearby. So, I packed up the welcome wagon with all sorts of goodies, and I headed out across the Utah desert. It didn't take a whole lot of searching to find the place, which is located immediately south of Interstate 70, and about 6 miles SE of the town of Green River, Utah. It consists of a total of ten significant buildings and structures scattered throughout the valley, with a few other old foundations and poles here and there. Overall, the complex is in a terrible state of disrepair.
Signs are unreadable, windows are boarded up, and most buildings are visibly damaged in some way.
The power lines to all the buildings I inspected had been smashed to bits. I could find no signs of any recent activity, in fact, the place looks utterly abandoned. Almost too abandoned. In the four to five hours I spent snooping around, I never saw one other person in the whole area, and so, with the Utah Launch Complex all to myself, I had quite a good look around. These are completely fenced off, and are labelled as the Magazine Area.
