Very strange to say the least...I see no fresh tire tracks on the outside of the gate...surveyor stakes in pic...hhhmmm...razorwire on the inside...

interesting,

scary thought..... wire on the inside
keep being reminded at this #ty world

I would like to point out that for some reason the pictures are cropped some. large poles are cut out of the bottom picture - they are seen in the distance. You can see them on the C2C site. Maybe someone can post the pics so they show completely. (new to posting pics and I don't have many points yet for big pics.)

can someone u2u me the Google Earth coords on this?
That will be a start

also on another site where they are discussing this they pointed out that you can see what looks like a backhoe or something. Its yellow and visible in the bottom picture in the distance left side of fence.

May also be an archeological dig site - as the Casa Grande Ruins are not too far from that area. Could also just be some sort of 'regular' development in the outskirts of Phoenix.

This location, as indicated in the OP, is just south of Phoenix - maybe 15-20 miles out. That's not really too far out in the desert.

Damn we need more pics.

That's a largish excavator that can be seen.

I would say at least 20+ (metric) tonne, so they're shifting quite a bit of dirt.

I'm also thinking that the photos are showing the back gate, since the sealed road stops at the gate inside the facility.

Who knows, a walk to the other end my present a sign telling us what it is.

It could always be somebody's gold claim. Or some other precious metal claim.

I'm intrigued by the road/path/track that starts at the edge of the fence itself. It makes sense that, for starting building within the compound, it's going to need roads within the compound itself.

However the lack of road on the outside seems very strange. Unless all the building materials are going to be somehow flown in, it's going to rely on some road network leading to the place if there's going to be some large development on the site. There's tyre tracks in the sand, but if large heavy plant machinery was being used, I'd have though it would need a fairly substantial road or the tracks in the sand would be a lot more apparent and entrenched.

I'd have thought that an unnamed road of some kind would appear first and perhaps be made inaccessible to unauthorised users. Then, after that, the development would appear. It almost seems backwards in chronological order.

On the Coast to Coast site, where you can see the full pictures, there appears to be some metallic structures on the right hand side of the 1st picture. The road in the images seems to lead off to the right towards them. It's a shame that you can't really get a sense of scale of how big they actually are in order to speculate on what they might be.

Reminds me of the surface area for the underground compound in 'Day Of The Dead' & 'Resident evil 3' to keep the zombies out! (it might be for a movie?)

I reread the post by Steve in Coolidge and he said power lines run to it. Maybe thats what the poles are in the pictures he posted (again they are not in the pics I posted or linked to - they are cut or cropped for some reason). I find it fascinating. Steve, if you read this, you have caused some speculation about your post C2C on several different websites. Join ATS and give us some more info!

I'm very familiar with the area, note that this is on an Indian Reservation just north of Coolidge, so a housing community is not likely because it's on tribal land. Never seen the this area personally but will be taking a drive there soon. I've heard stories from friends that live in Blackwater of a gated area in the desert that have "No Trespassing lethal force may be used" signs posted.
Also Convoys of black SUVs passing through the middle of the night.

Also all the archeological sites relating to the Casa Grande Ruins are already protected about 2 square Miles around the ruins in Coolidge.

Also there is an old WW2 camp about 5 miles north of Coolidge, were American Japanese Citizens were detained. Could this be the same site under construction? maybe.

Will be posting updates and pictures as soon as I can.
