Yes, It's the National Museum of the USAF. They have roughly 360 aircraft in buildings covering 17 acres and a 4th 200,000+ sqft building is in the works. We took a trip east this past summer and needed to have some work done at Jackson Center. From there we went to Dayton and started the tour 1st thing the next day. It really deserves more than 1 day to fully take it in.

I'm going to take a wild stab at this one: It's the Alamo.

#764 looks like Scotty's Castle in Death Valley.

Well, see there? It was a wild stab.

Even so, the thickness of those walls does suggest either an older military installation (protection against, e.g., cannon fire) or an older, somewhat primitive building style in which material strength (i.e., weakness) vs. height is made up with wall thickness.

Time for another clue... The thick walls are significant.

Back in its day, this was not a place you wanted to be sent to. In the center of the complex was the "Dark Room". There was a tunnel with solid doors on each end as I remember. Inside was a round chamber surrounding a square iron cage that may have been 12-15' on each side. Prisoners were sent to this cell for various infractions, some times for extended periods. Imagine a number of bad guys occupying this space in total darkness, the only facility was a bucket in one corner of the cage. There was a vent in the roof that was designed much like a P trap so that light could not come in. They say an occasional snake or scorpion might find its way into the vent and drop in on the party. It's now a state park along the interstate with very easy access. No camping here but lots of choices in and around Yuma.

Thanks for the additional info and pics. The next time I go through there, I'll make appoint of stopping. That's along my winter route to the San Diego area where my son and his family live. By the way my answer is a link to the state park web site.

I'm going to guess that's the Cholla Cactus Garden in Joshua Tree National Monument.

I've pulled too many of those @#$% things out of me to be fond of them.

If I'm not correct, it is definitely a bunch of jumping cholla.

I have been looking on you tube for a good Jumping Cholla video. However, 90% seem to contain understandable profanity.

This guy seems to keep a positive attitude.
