Everybody knows about Raven Rock, aka "Site R,"
where federal officials would go in the event of
an attack on the U.S. See
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/c3i/index.html
and click on "Raven Rock Site R."
On the other hand, click on "Mercersburg,' and
there's no information beyond a map of the
vicinity of that south-central Pennsylvania
town. See
http://cpacker.org/a1.jpg
for a Mapquest image of the area.

I was examining the region using Google Maps,
which also has satellite photos, and I found
two interesting sites. One is a couple of miles
east of Mercersburg and looks like it includes
an airport runway. Chamber of Commerce Web sites
don't make any reference to an airport in
that location. The other site, much larger,
is close to Upton, midway between Mercersburg
and Greencastle. A Terraserver aerial photo,
1995-vintage, shows it under construction at
that time. It's a mile long and a half mile
wide; way to large to be a shopping center!
Any information on those sites would be
welcome.
