SAGE

I'm working from time to time on mapping SAGE and NIKE bases.

I lived in Corvallis and saw the blockhouse at Camp Adair and started wondering what the heck that thing was.

Camp Adair, Oregon

Article from Corvallis Gazette Times on the current state of the blockhouse building.

After WWII they started to build a BOMARC missile base and a building to house a SAGE computer

Look here and then search for "adair"

Learning about Camp Adair lead me to wondering about the SAGE computers.
