   good  pictures . those are great telephoto shots .   
      
   supposedly ,  the hanger doors were open most of the day and had   
   something  VERY interesting to see in there ....... by the time those   
   pictures were taken , the doors  had been  closed. probably hastily ,   
   as people approached.  sometimes people are lucky and catch stuff up   
   on the pylons as well ..... but evidently not this visit.

   I know the route that you probably took , no signs at all if you go in   
   that way ...  pretty rough on your vehicle  ......... they can see you   
   coming for miles if you enter that way , tho.   probably think you are   
   a local , if you come that way .

   >someone on foot is harder than detecting a vehicle.   
      
   they have the " standard " little metal box with the wire hanging out   
   of it ,  I won't say where they are on the entrance road (  I know   
   that  you know how to easily  find them  )  ....... probably got them   
   around the fence line as well .   
      
    I park near the   
   >official entrance to the rance, so it is possible someone can guess   
   >that if a car is parked by the road, somebody is snooping.   
      
   they dispatch vehicles   from the guard  shack  on the access  road  ,   
   located just below the rise on the entrance .  unlike the contractors   
   in  NV, they stay well back and just watch you from a distance .....   
   maybe they have " other  " forms of surveillance they rely upon more ,   
   dunno.   
      
   those pictures on alt.binaries.a51 were taken with a  regular little   
   digital camera with nothing fancy for lens etc.  make your own   
   judgements of where they were taken based on that !  h ah aha ha   
    ha ha  ( scary huh ?  )  hear tell you could smell the coffee brewing   
   in the guard shack from where those pictures were taken. dunno myself.   
      
   it'd be interesting to live  on a farm on the higher land to the east   
   , towards the Tehachapi highway with your telephoto equipment .....   
   you could probably get some interesting pictures from there, at times   
   late at night .
