Mark ... great video!!
I served in the USAF way out in the Western Utah Dugway area way back when and your video sure brought back memories of that.
Thank you! That must've been a lonely existence out there, even with other base personnel. We didn't film it, but while at Simpson Springs on Saturday they were performing maneuvers out across the Dugway Valley, east of Dugway Buttes. Lots and lots of large vehicles out there with large explosions going off. It was too far away to see what those vehicles were, but they had to be tanks or some other sort of armored vehicles. From camp about 5 miles away it sounded like the occasional rumble of thunder in the distance.

Some of the scenery in your video also resembles that of the Oregon Outback high desert area. Have you ever roamed around out there?
Only through the badlands from Ontario through Banks to Bend. I found the West Desert to be a bit more desolate than that Oregon stretch felt to me, but I can certainly see your point.
