I hate to admit this, but I am going to have to get a map out and figure out just where this place is. The news said Miramonte, I have read that there is also a smaller one in Dunlap, and then there is the statement that it is Badger.
Since you have been there, I am going to take you as the authority on this, Badger it is. Now, though I have lived here my entire life, and that is a few years believe me, if only I could figure out where Badger is! ;-0

Here is a Terraserver image of the compound. You can step back on the scale to see a wider view. The runway is clearly visible and you can see the buildings along its length and the smaller buildings that cluster in several spots among the trees.

Here is a topographic map from Terraserver. Again, you can hit minus on the zoom control to get a wider view. Look at middle of the map where the place name "Badger" is in black. The area right above that name and between the two roads is the compound.

Looking at National Geographic map from May 1966, Dunlap is 40 miles East of Fresno. Miramonte appears to be about 5 miles S/E from Dunlap. It is very close to the Sequoia National Park area.
