   So what is your hypothesis? You think this   
   is a Tehachapi Complex entrance point that   
   is no longer in use? or ???   
      
   I think you're suggesting that the gate   
   is no longer (if ever) in use, due to it's   
   rusted condition. Did there ever appear to   
   be any kind of key card, magnetic exit switch   
   etc that would facilitate vehicles entering   
   and exiting?   
      
   I take it you've been there or live near   
   there now. What about the road surface?   
   Paved or dirt/gravel, I can't quite tell   
   what you're suggesting when you compare   
   the sat photos with the QMR web page photos.   
   Are you saying it's a paved road (asphalt)   
   that has been covered by dirt to disguise it?   
      
   What's your guess on the size of gate opening,   
   weight bearing capability of the road   
   surface etc in regards to heavy trucks?   
      
   The two gate panels appear to be either 8'wide   
   6' tall or 10' wide, 8' tall, standard dimensions.   
      
   Due to the angles in the photos it's difficult   
   to make comparisons between known sized items   
   and items in question. How high is that driveway   
   header over the road? I think I'm seeing about   
   13' or 15' of clearance. That would barely be   
   enough for 18 wheelers and tall RV's.   
      
   Pull the county records ownership maps? Contact the   
   property management company listed on the website?
