View looking west from the summit Blue Knob. On the next ridge is an FAA radio site, believed to be the old USAF GATR site.

View looking southeast from in front of old Hq/Admin building at area where barracks used to stand (see 1956 photo).

View looking southwest from in front of old Hq/Admin building at area where one barracks used to stand. Family housing area was beyond this clearing, visible in the clearing across the road. All housing units have been removed.
