   I'm not saying the  hawthorne / mono road is   
   part of the testing range  for  NUWTL / AMD,   
   my guess would be  ( and it's strictly a guess )   
   that  if there is a  " so called " range area , it's  not   
   really a range as mush as adjacent land near where   
   they do  weapons testing  and the area " east "   
   of that highway is a direct corridor between tonopah   
   and hawthorne.   the testing is probably actually done   
   directly over the restricted areas in both places with   
   planes moving back and forth between them at times.   
      
    TTR is just a VERY short  distance from Hawthorne   
   ( as the crow flies ) and since BOTH places have quite similar   
   missile launcher stuff strewn all over the place , it  ( to me at   
   least ) seems likely the military aircraft you see all over hawthorne   
    probably come from Tonopah and possibly similar types of   
   combined testing  takes place   related to both places.  I'm just   
   guessing , but the aircraft seem to come and go in the direction of   
   the TTR .   the highway would be on the left ( western )edge of the   
   transition area and actually borders the hawthorne range areas  in   
   places.   
   they probably just close off the road mostly as a safety precaution   
   in case something goes astray. thats what I meant when I mentioned   
   finding a souvenirs.  that maybe something will  shoot off in an   
   unexpected direction and land in the desert near the highway !    I   
   can't say that I've seen any weapons launching that   
   actually went towards the  highway ..... in fact , what I've seen (   
   from Lucky Boy peak ) would be heading ese or se , well within   
   the restricted areas at hawthorne and straight towards TTR !   
      
   I don't remember if I've even seen an airfield at hawthorne. they do   
   have some  of those  white aircraft beacon facilities there  near   
   hawthorne , but I  don't remember an actual military airfield  ,   
   tho there might be and I just don't remember it !   the navy has such   
   a huge array of ship to air, and air to air  weapons that it just   
   makes sense that  a possible connection  with the planes at  TTR  and   
   weapons testing at nearby hawthorne could take place.  it seems to be   
   an obvious opportunity  for both facilities since they have so much in   
   common !   
      
   thanks for your notes .
