Hello all,
Went ahead and did a little driving to confirm/rebuke the MIB Ft.Lewis thread.
The MIB on Ft.Lewis thread is 100% total BS and not correct in any initial detail.
I mentioned that I live less then 15 minutes from the turnoff listed in the post. I spent a total of 1 hour driving around and back to the house. I took 4 kids with me and they can verify the trip.
I felt since the post mentioned "new" construction and roads it was worth while to check. And my earlier posts corrected some obvious misinformation.
I want to make sure that certain "facts" of the first post are consindered 100% false. To do this I will quote the orginial followed by the "facts".
"Turn right at the main Nisqually tribal area with the shops." Well, there are NO shops! The Nisqually Tribal center is on Nisqually Drive off yelm highway, sharing the same block as the Nisqually Jail, but NO and I mean ZERO shops. And, BTW, Nisqually Drive is a dead end just about 75yards from the jail. No, I didn't bring a tape measure or pace it off. Currently there is a green chevy pickup parked at the trees at the end of the road though.
"Take the center fork of the road when it splits." Well, when I read this it means that there are 3 splits. NO WHERE is there 3 seperate splits. HOWEVER! if you have some older software maps that you can bring up on the computer like I have, you might think this is so.
"About two miles after the road turns to gravel, you will find the first of the tank crossing signs." Oh really now??? In fact, the ONLY road near the Nisqually Tribal Center that doesnt dead end only goes 1.3 miles before coming to another black top road. Interestingly, this black top road is a *right turn just after the tank crossing signs*.
"At this point you will be heading back NE toward the back side of rainier." Well, like I said, Mt. Rainer is East South East from this location (if I have my boy scout directions correct).
What I found really interesting is that 1.3 of DIRT and 1.3 of paved road gives aprox 2.6 total miles of road, it loops around to end up being a right turn after the tank crossing signs if you come from Yelm. And, that if you make a left from the dirt road, you come up to a bridge that has a mil spec sign.
I know that sounds confusing. The dirt road dead ends into the paved road and the two make a side loop off of Yelm Highway (if you follow the south side of the paved road).
Why would someone fabricate such junk? With so many people able to actually go out and check you would think persons would be a bit more carefull of the junk they post. This does nothing to help the cause. I do know for a fact I have seen two things the government military did not intend for me to see. But, I don't tell anyone that doesn't trust what I say to be true because I can't prove it. All I have as proof is my word, which can only be known to be true by those that have been with me in other unbelievable situations.
Anyways, consider this issue proven false. Unless someone wants to give a whole hell of a lot better directions. I have left some specifics of the area out so I can more easily spot further attempts of BS.
Hey, I did spot some good fishing and swimmin holes along the river though!!! The trip was worth it despite the vapor trail I was tryin to follow.
One of the more frustrating issues of this fantasy tale is that the errors are so creative. I didn't bring a compass, but if I go over the mil spec bridge, I might actually be going NE. But, then, I am not sure the paved road doesn't wrap around the bridge to the NE or NW. However, this being the case, the directions should have stated to start out on this road just after the tank crossing signs, and should NOT have mentioned that the driver would be heading towards Mt. Rainer.
I will bump this to the top for the next few days to make sure that the MIB post is known to be false. I never really did believe in those black helicopters and feel better knowing I proved these false.
