You know I live about 20-30 miles from a large government/corporate installation (the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in South Eastern Iowa). Was opened in the early 1900's. Thousands of acres, 100's of miles of Railroad, Bunkers, Warehouses, High Security, built atomic bombs in the 50's and 60's. It doesn't even show up on most maps.
Sounds much like the fictional setting for the "Newark Incident" in John Gilstrap's "At Any Cost." In that novel, a very large former weapons plant in Arkansas is the site of some old weapons bunkers leaking nerve gases and whatnot. Rail lines, "mounds" covering the bunkers are covered with trees which have grown up over the years since the plant was decommissioned, etc. I don't know if there was such a plan in Arkansas as well as in Iowa, or whether Gilstrap simply changed a few names and sites to protect the guilty. A good read, though, as was his earlier thriller, "Nathan's Run." --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
