Middle of Nowhere





















Was surfing the net in Geo lesson whn i came across this


NAME: Portugee Road
COUNTY: USA
My uncle told me the story of this place when I was 13 and I did'nt believe it until I saw it. T
he story goes that during WWII the US was worried that the Germans would try to bomb US airports- SO the USarmy built a fake town just east of Richmond Internation Airport (then called Bryd Airport).
Then town is strange to see. It consistes of roads, sidewalks, driveways that lead to nothing, streetlights, sewer covers, mailboxes, even the ocasionall park bench. It also had a runway with landing lights. All the lights were designed to be turned on in case of an air-raid and at the same time, the real airport and all of Richmond would blacked out in the hopes that the Germans would bomb the fake town.NO one seems to care about visitors there anymore. To get there, find Richmond Internation Airport just east of Richmond. On the east end of the airport property you will find Portugue Road. Follow it down hill through and wooded residential area until you come to a dirtroad the extends deeper into the woods.
There is a gate but no one seems to care about visitors as it is never locked or attended.

OMG its like damn cooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!

THATS IS SO ON MY PLACES-TO-EXPLORE LIST
