I don't think its around anymore. I believe they Army turned it over to NJ and they are using it as a economic development area like a lot of the old USAF Bases.

Welcome to the forum connile. This is a great place for info concerning firearms and much else. Sometimes it get a little rough so you need thick skin. I've been here a long time and look forward to the next day's posts. As I said, I sure would go back to visit NJ & VA but with the price of gas I would need to sell my truck!
