2. Thanks for posting

I thought NW Florida was the most boring place on earth. Quite a bit going on around here.

4. Isn't that where they tested the MOAB?

6. Yeb, on Eglin AFB

But , unfortunately, they won't let the public see the big hole it created. Living near an Air Force base is rather interesting . We lived, at that time, about 20 miles away from it and you could hear the various ordinance going off when the weather was right. When they fired their high-speed gatling gun at their practice range it had a very distinctive "Brrrrurrrp" sound.

13. Wasn't it an airburst?

14. As I understand it

It was a very, very large container of some sort of ungodly explosives that had a bomb attached to it. They dropped it and it ruptured at a certain height spraying the area with an explosive mist and then the bomb went off igniting the mist - basically a hell of a big blast.

5. That is a really interesting site.

Too bad that there are only two things about 20 miles from me, and the rest are much further. Certainly there must be something closer! (But I am not thinking of anything.)

8. It doesn't have to be exceptional, just interesting. It might be a small diner, or antique shop.

9. there's a gris mill not far from me. It's very picturesque.

[alfredo]

10. It's the discovery that is the fun.

[fizzgig]

11. i am now planning a full adventure around this

the googles gave me a better idea of where it is and i'm in the process of building a full day around it. the husband is going to be just thrilled with this.
