According to this document, the owners just walked away from the old tungsten mine. I don't poke around there, but you can see lights at the facility when off-roading. I could have sworn there was a plan to do waste disposal or recycling there, though no more mining.
So there you have a mine right next to the highway with a kind of paved road, yet the owners walked. (The road was half arse paved a few years ago, for reasons unknown.)

Oh they always walk away. Hey Nevada, sorry about this mess but we must be leaving now. Oh and this mine is a separate corporate entity so don't bother trying to sue the parent company. Corporations are people except when they aren't.
Did you notice anything with electric power? Somebody has to be paying the bill.
If you want to poke around a mine and keep it Groom Lake related, the Crescent Mine is probably the place to play. I never got around to camping out there, but you might spot a Janet landing light on approach from the general area. (Obviously when it is dark!). I'm thinking here of the early morning direct flights, not the flights that come over the NTS.

The case is currently in discovery. Sheahan says he is a God-loving American and does not want to be portrayed as unpatriotic but wants his family to receive just compensation. Sheahan and Leavitt expect a late spring or early summer court date where a jury will decide on the matter of just compensation.
