Is that the one with the V-2 rocket? I have been to a missle park out there somewhere, but do not remember the name of it.PrimalSeal, Have you been to that Missile Garden?
Yep, there is a V2 there.Is that the one with the V-2 rocket? I have been to a missle park out there somewhere, but do not remember the name of it.
The Garden is located at the WSMR Main Gate, which is about 20 miles from Las Cruces, N.M.
It has been a few years since I was last there. I used to go there on business trips to repair missile guidance systems made by the company I worked for.
The area I would travel to is quite a distance from the main gate. There is a top half of a navy ship way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, just sitting there, in the desert. Quite a surreal deal, to be sure.
That is one LARGE facility.
Then you must be near Las Cruces?Never been there yet, but it's only 20 minutes from where I am sitting right now. I need to get out there and finally see what they got, that stuff is cool as hell.
I am 65 miles to the east of Las Cruces... It takes about an hour to get there, the speed limit is 70 mph on HWY 70, so we can cruise at about 75 - 80 the whole way... Why do you ask about Las Cruces?Then you must be near Las Cruces?
That is where I would stay when I went to White Sands Missile Range on business.I am 65 miles to the east of Las Cruces...
