Based Camp.

Original purpose:  Support base for the defunct Central Nevada Test Site.  Three wells were dug to support the Spartan nuclear warhead underground tests.  Only the first "qualification" shot occured, code-named Faultless.  Go 21.95 miles North-North East and you'll find the ground zero.  I've stood at ground zero for Faultless - it was a 1 MT shot that showed the CNTS was unsuitable for Sparten-sized shots i.e. 5 MT.  Subsequent shots were moved to Aluetein (sp) Islands in AK.

Now, it's purpose is supposed to be a backup/emergency airfield for the Groom Lake Air Force Base/Area 51 airfield.  Go 76.63 miles SSE and you'll see that this base is right in line with the main airfield at Groom Lake.

ETA: my bad you got it. for some reason when I hit the quote button "Base Camp" didn't come over.    That is the place it is a back up airfield for the Area 51.  The cookie is in the mail!
