    If only I could figure some way to judge the distances in the panoramic picture, then I could get a better idea where this is. I know "C" hill is 400ft tall from looking at maps. and I'd be willing to bet that the fence is probably 8-10ft high. I'm trying to think back to high school geometry or trig to remember if there was a way to triangulate the distances. I don't know, maybe I'm putting too much effort into this.

    I'm not so much concerned about the what right now. I want to know the where so we can drive down there and verify the what. But I think the alien spacecraft tumbleweed fuel station is my favorite theory so far.

    I know where it is. I have seen it before, just not sure what they are building. The fence is there to keep people from steeling construction supplies.

    I dont have the GPS numbers for it. I have seen it when traveling down the I-10. Its a few miles off the highway, but you can see something going on there. I have seen alot of dump trucks going in and out for a while. That whole area looks to be being built up.

    The I-10 is 17 miles from where that hill with the "C" on it is. It is probably a different construction site you're thinking of. I know they are building crap all over the valley. I just want to find this one so I can debunk all these wacko FEMA concentration camp gubermint conspiracy talk (or find out if I really should invest in foil hats).

    You could be right....Im guessing its just a building of some sort. I have heard that the Indians are building another Casino, and from what I have gathered, thats all I can find being built in that area. If its not, Im sure Brian and I will find out on Monday. Not much out there, so it shouldnt be to hard to find.

    I know about the one on the 202. Thing is, there is alot of shit on the books being built in that area. Substation, Dump, power generating station, waste water treatment, it could be any of those. Im thinking Brian and I are going to head East off the I-10, and search the area between there and Coolidge.
