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.
http://www.gazettetimes.com/news/local/focus/article_566b4731-6403-5f94-8f07-b0a55dec56ef.html
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"

includes articles and maps
Learning about Camp Adair lead me to wondering about the SAGE computers.
Other SAGE blockhouses

Project notes
I have a folder in Documents/Projects/Nike_and_SAGE/
I downloaded a bunch of KML files and merged them together
