For those that don't know about Base Camp:
Base Camp 101

New signs showed up at Base Camp.





Now granted, there were never services at Base Camp and you were never welcome there, but now I guess they really mean it. It is interesting that the signs indicate both DoD and USAF, as if one by itself would not be sufficient. [Note the proper spelling of the abbreviation for the Department of Defense is DoD, not DOD, if you are old school.] All these signs really mean is don't park at the side of Tybo Road to photograph basecamp. Legal? Who knows. It is a public road, but then again, this is DoD you are dealing with.

Activity? Well they were busy doing this:



Now what exactly "this" is is another story. I thought the guy on the right was likely to have the ladder fall on him. I would have warned him, but well, there are these signs......

Based on some email I've received, one theory is this device on the fork lift is a perimeter radar surveillance device.

example

Just prior to taking this photograph, the vehicle on the right had driven to the eastern edge of the property. The drive got out of the car and looked back at the group, then headed back. I suspect he was driving to the edge of the property to see if the device could track him. The theory being they are trying to determine just how high to mount this device so that it is effective.
