great photo i live on nw 190 st. not far for a young boy on a bike , my friends and i would ride out to watch the goings on while learning duck and cover during the cuban missile mess in1962 , caught a lot of fish in snake creek and the canal in top center of picture , a story told to us by a guard was that when the army started clearing the land they had to post a rifleman on each side of the dozer to kill all the snakes and there were some real big rattlers in that area
