well, it is between three important airforce bases so it could be military. but i didnt see any signs of miliary presence or ownership. i dont get the feeling that it is.

You know on a training flight to Texarkana from Addison we came across several odd but very specifically placed mounds of earth just west of Texarkana. I asked about them when I landed but the little fuel guy was of no help. I did a Google for any info around the area and found out that it was a large Army ammo depot that was not really used anymore. If you know name of a town or city in the area try searching the history of that town and something might come up. Be sure to post back any info you find. Now I am curious

The page for what I found in Northeast Texas

I started by searching military history of Texarkana and finallly came across it.

Looked up map qwest for Bunker Rd in Florida and didnt get anything promising, mostly Bunker Cove and Bunker Island...

Try finding the website for those military bases, most of them have an online directory for base services. Its possible that if its close to Eglin AFB it may be a vehicle training area or a munitions disposal site. Eglin used to be training/Testing base, or maybe that was Patrick AFB...

you can almost see a perimeter road around the "facility" plus it looks like all the trees have been cleared around the area

Drive out there and check it out, let us know what you find out.
