Thanks, Gariac. I actually found it a few hours after I made my last post... I just did not think to edit it!

So, I have a little looking into this, and I am wondering where Point Brave is? Is it the area to the north of 95, roughly 5 miles before you get to the prison?

Point Bravo:
36°32'3.62"N 115°33'58.17"W

I just pulled that off of google earth. It appears as Point B on some maps.

There is a Point Alpha also.

You got a location for Point Alpha, gariac? Never heard of before.

Point Bravo:

I need to work on my military phonetics. It is Point Able.

Ah, that place. Where Duke Nukem is on guard.

The TTR closes the gate on the weekend, but there still is activity on the base during the weekend. Well presuming you call cars and trucks driving around being activity.

Looking at Bing (google earth is really old regarding the TTR), I see maybe a dozen civilian cars at the "Mancamp."

I see a small fighter type aircraft on Bing where the Janet's park. Maybe this link will work.

Just to add more confusion, when you transit the range, you radio into range control and say something to the effect of "Group of 8 at Bravo, will radio when we reach Bravo-Bravo." Don't quote me on this for exact language, but they care where on the range you are since it is live at times. My point is, there is a "Bravo-Bravo" as well, north about 2+ miles into the range.
