Calico-Warren Grove

[Frolickin]

When I look at Google Maps, I see a lot of roads named Department of Defense south of Calico-Warren Grove Road. Is the following area open to the public?

It seems to me that at a certain point, Andrews Road perhaps, the area is off limits. Just checking . . .

No. That is the Warren Grove Bombing Range. Pass the signs they have and deadly force can be used.

If you want to see the A10 Warthogs in action, drive down 539 on a Saturday Morning and drive up Bombing Range road. You can drive all the way to the fence and they have a parking area. If you climb on your car you can see the planes diving to kill tanks. Oh yes...you will also hear them

The entrance is in the middle of this map.

If you go check out the cement bomb.

And if you wander around there you may find the location of a dead body Not really but it sure looks like it. See if you can find it and get a pic. I say not really but we only dug a little with our hands. Maybe there is one.

And the foundations of this building in my "Then And Now" gallery is also there at the high point of the road just at the curve.

That always sort of amused me. I'm assuming that the reason they don't want anyone in there is because if they were in there during target practice they'd almost certainly be killed or badly injured. So in order to keep you out they threaten to kill or badly injure you... Of course I guess they also don't want people to know the ins and outs of how bombing runs are conducted either.

I never thought of it that way, that is pretty funny.
