    I don't know how we could find out where each one is. This one is not hidden but most would not think anything of it since Eastern NC is a Military hub. But it just does not fit so it sticks out to me. There are five bases near us that would store this type of equipment.

    The armory in our town was closed several years ago and is slated for demolition. The others that I know of are very low profile, and hardly ever have more than a few cars in the lot. I've noticed that recruiting stations have been moving to now-unused space in some armories in southern Maine. No build-up of equipment or people that I've noticed.
    Collapse now and avoid the rush!

    I just pulled ours up on Google Earth and in June 2011 the lot was maybe 1/8 full, now it is full to the max. It has been filling up for some time now. Now is this some evil planning? I don't know what it is, but I would like to know if it is happening in other areas of the Country. Too much hardware for Podunk.

    About four hours by road. So maybe 220 miles. South of DC.
