Today we’re taking a drive along Walker Lake and through Hawthorne, Nevada. We’re also going to pass by parts of the Hawthorne Army Depot, the largest ammunition storage depot in the world.
[Each Sunday I plan to release a scenic drive from somewhere around the country for your viewing pleasure. I don’t plan to narrate these, although I may include some informational banners if appropriate. The point is to just enjoy the scenery.]
This map shows where in the USA Walker Lake and Hawthorne, Nevada are located:
This southbound drive on US Highway 95 starts about 50 miles south of Fallon, Nevada. Our drive today will cover about 25 miles.
Hawthorne Army Depot
The Hawthorne Army Depot covers 147,000 acres, or 296 square miles, and has 2,427 storage bunkers for storing all kinds of ammunition for the US Military.
You can find more detailed information about the Hawthorne Army Depot on Wikipedia. (I’ve posted a couple of interesting videos about Hawthorne Army Depot at the end of this post.)
I hope you enjoy this video; I recommend viewing it in full screen mode.
