We Need This!

GSA is auctioning off the former Naval base at Sugar Grove Station, WV for $1mil: https://realestatesales.gov/gsaauctions/aucdsclnk?sl=PEACH416004001 Scroll through the pics and check out the garage facility. What a great retirement community we could build for LBCers. We'd need to figure out how to use the facility roads as a hot track, but I'm sure it could be done. There was a condo facility called Hawk's Hill in NC that had the idea of an LBC retirement community. Don't know how it worked out for everyone. Do this same set up in Hawaii and I'm gone!

I was stationed at a Naval Air Station in Olathe, Kansas! JTTU Jet Transitional Training Unit. We trained old Navy prop pilots to fly jets. PJ

Beautiful: https://www.google.com/maps/place/S...a7503a!8m2!3d38.5707861!4d-79.2753858!6m1!1e1

Plenty of space for a track.

I'm guessing, given the proximity to Washington DC, that bidding will go far north of 1M...

And whoever gets it better bring an open check book. Annual operating expenses, not including labor, are 1.5M. https://realestatesales.gov/ATTACHMENT/REGNP/PEACH416004001/operatingcostsadditinfo.pdf

My dad did basic training on Lake Superior for DE duty in 1942.

I've been on that base and stayed at one of the guest cottages. It is nice. We have friends that have a cabin a few miles south of the base. Lots of great twisty roads that go up and down mountains. The main route in, US 33 out of Harrisonburg has over 100 switchbacks as it goes up and down the mountain. I always am amazed at hitting "scan" on my radio and just watch it endlessly cycle without finding a station. If I had money, I'd buy property down there.
