Indian Wells Valley, showing and the China Lake area.Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake is a large military installation whose mission is to support the research, testing and evaluation programs of the. It is part of under. It was originally known as Naval Ordnance Test Station ( NOTS).The installation is located in the Western region of, approximately 150 miles (240 km) north of Los Angeles. Occupying land in three counties –, and – the installation's closest neighbors are the city of and the communities of, and.China Lake is the 's largest single landholding, representing 85% of the Navy's land for weapons and armaments research, development, acquisition, testing and evaluation (RDAT&E) use and 38% of the Navy's land holdings worldwide. In total, its two ranges and main site cover more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km 2), an area larger than the state of. As of 2010, at least 95% of that land has been left undeveloped. The roughly $3 billion infrastructure of the installation consists of 2,132 buildings and facilities, 329 miles (529 km) of paved roads, and 1,801 miles (2,898 km) of unpaved roads.The 19,600 square miles (51,000 km 2) of restricted and controlled airspace at China Lake makes up 12% of California's total airspace.
Jointly controlled by NAWS China Lake, and, this airspace is known as the., whose epicenter was within the boundaries of NAWS China Lake, resulted in the facility being evaluated as 'not mission capable”. Contents.Armitage Field All aircraft operations at NAWS China Lake are conducted at Armitage Field, which has three runways with more than 26,000 feet (7,900 m) of taxiway.

Drone director based at USN China LakeIn July 1967, NOTS China Lake and the in, became the Naval Weapons Center. The Corona facilities were closed and their functions transferred to the desert in 1971. In July 1979, the mission and functions of the National Parachute Test Range at were transferred to China Lake.Naval Air Weapons Station In January 1992, the and the were disestablished and joined with naval units at in and at the at as a single command - the (NAWCWD) of the (NAVAIR). At the same time, the physical plant at China Lake was designated as a Naval Air Weapons Station and became host of the NAVAIR Weapons Division, performing the base-keeping functions.In 1982 the community area of China Lake, including most of base housing, was annexed by the. In 2013, Congress reserved China Lake's acreage for military use for an additional 25 years.In 2014, U.S.
Representative of California introduced a bill to permanently designate Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake property for military use, arguing it would save taxpayer money and enhance the base's mission. The bill would add 25,000 acres (10,000 ha), including about 7,500 acres (3,000 ha) that were part of a bombing range in, as well as 19,000 acres (7,700 ha) along the station's southwest boundary. The said that DoD needs could change in future decades and that it is a popular recreation area with trail riding, camp sites and hunting, and an important wildlife corridor, especially for the threatened desert tortoise.In July 2019, struck Southern California; both had epicenters within the NAWS boundaries. The first, on July 4, a 6.4 magnitude quake, caused no injuries at NAWS, and the initial reports showed that all buildings were intact. The second, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on July 5, resulted in the facility being evaluated as 'not mission capable”.
The report shows that officials assessed all buildings, utilities and facilities — 3,598 structures in all — for 13 days after the earthquakes and found damage totaled $5.2 billion. Replacing buildings alone would cost $2.2 billion, but officials also must replace or repair specialized equipment, furniture, machine tools, telecommunication assets and other facilities. Weapons developed at China Lake.Other notable projects.Environment Wildlife The majority of the land at NAWS China Lake is undeveloped and provides habitat for more than 340 species of wildlife, including feral horses, feral burros (donkeys), and endangered animals, such as the, and Mojave.
The Mojave Tui Chub was introduced to China Lake's Lark Seep in 1971. Lark Seep is fed by the water outflow from a waste water treatment plant located at China Lake. The Tui Chub population has since grown and expanded to a population of around 6,000 in 2003. The desert on which the installation is built is home to 650 plant types. Petroglyphs. Coso Rock Art of Big Horn Sheep.The area was once home to the, whose presence here is marked by thousands of archaeological sites; the Coso traded with other tribes as far away as.
This locale was also a site used by European miners and settlers whose cabins and mining structures are extant throughout the Station.The are home to the, an area of some 99 square miles (260 km 2) which contains more than 50,000 documented, the highest concentration of in the Northern Hemisphere.No one knows for sure how old these petroglyphs are. A broad range of dates can be inferred from archaeological sites in the area and some artifact forms depicted on the rocks. Archaeologists do not agree on their age, but in general it is believed that that most petroglyphs are between one and three thousand years old. Designs range from animals to abstract to anthropomorphic figures. Opinions vary widely whether the petroglyphs were made for ceremonial purposes, whether they are telling stories to pass along the mythology of their makers, or whether they are records of hunting hopes or successes, clan symbols or maps.Declared a in 1964, the rock art in Little Petroglyph Canyon provides insights into the cultural heritage and knowledge of the desert's past. Everything in the canyon area is fully protected, including the obsidian chips and any artifacts or tools, as well as the petroglyphs and native vegetation and wildlife.Little Petroglyph Canyon contains 20,000 documented images, which surpasses in number most other collections.
It is open to the public for tours. Monorail Remains of the are signposted and visible within the site. The central rail, on which mining tractors pulled minerals from a mine to the nearest railway siding, was supported on wooden A frames of a low trestle.Coso Geothermal Field The is located within China Lake boundaries. The geothermal power plants located there began generating electricity in 1987 and were the Navy's first foray into producing clean power from the earth's thermal energy (heat). Total annual electricity production from the field amounts to 270 megawatts (360,000 hp), equivalent to more than 4 million barrels (640,000 m 3) of oil. (One megawatt of electricity meets the needs of approximately 1,400 households.)See also.References.

Unhappily ever after. That’s how it starts. The Orb resurfaces and the classic characters return. Kobbler with his mania, Princess with her endless boredom. It’s only a matter of time before Bob, our hero, shows up to put order back to madness. Three powers struggle for victory and the fate of Cloudberry Kingdom hangs in the balance. As a test of dexterity, Cloudberry Kingdom is a worthy, well-executed tribute to traditional platformers. But because the levels consistently use such a clear pattern, the gameplay gradually grows. Cloudberry Kingdom: Platforming Levels Up. Cloudberry Kingdom looks simplistic when you first boot it up but after an hour of gameplay you won’t even have scratched the surface.
Cloudberry Kingdom has you jump and dodge your way through billions of levels on a last-ditch mission to conquer infinity. If i got this right, the levels are generated based on a level seeds (a random number). If the number at the end of a save file is the level seed (i dont know), then there are: 9 (number of digits in the level seed) ^ 9 (1-9 are the possible digits, if numeric) = 387420489 possible levels.

We stayed in Darwin lake holiday village. Jaggers Lane. Darley Moor Matlock.
Derbyshire DE4 5LH It is located in the Peak District and has wonderful scenery, location and attractions. Darwin lake holiday complex is 4 star luxury accommodation with all facilities at hand. The cottages are fully equipped and finished to the highest standard. We stayed for a four night stay and had a wonderful time. It was home away from home.
I can only highly recommend it to anyone contemplating a visit to the area. We had a fabulous stay and can't wait to return.
We decided to spend our annual mum's trip away at Darwin Lakes as a change to our usual stay over the road at Darwin Forest. 4 of us stayed in a house that sleeps 6 in 3 rooms, all en suite. The accommodation is very comfortable with all the homes comforts you would expect. Description said bring our own towels but they were provided in any case. We didn't explore the grounds but it looked nice, opting instead to take a walk in the Peak District. Would recommend as a nice place to stay, great location for exploring the Peaks.
I booked this location through FitFarm, this review is for Darwin Lake. Booking was quick, easy and fuss free. Stephen was very helpful and answered all the questions I had about the location (and the FitFarm course). I was only ever in contact with the FitFarm staff during my stay, who were above amazing.
The large house like cottages surround a beautiful lake, full of wild life (we were lucky enough to see newly hatched ducklings). There's lots of places to walk in the area, including a trail that starts on the grounds. The cottages and grounds were very clean, the facilities provided are easy to use. I was in one of the ground floor rooms, which had a large king size bed. I did find that the mattress on the bed needed to be a bit firmer, but it was a nice size and the ensuit wet room, which I loved.
I was in a cottage with a group of women (we were all taking part in a course, so we didn't know each other). The kitchen are is huge and great for family dining and so plenty of room for us all. The only thing was that there was only one key to the front door and found we had to share the front door and back door key, if we wanted to go our separate ways, so maybe two or three sets of keys would had been useful. I saw there was a BBQ available to use outside our.
