Very cool time out! Jim." 
 
I did both archaeological surveys and later a couple 
of years of geological mapping within Fort Polk in 
Vernon Parish, Louisiana, and the Peason Ridge area 
just north of it. I loved seeing the A-10 Thunderbolt II 
"Warthog" flying, often on the deck, around. When 
they did target practice in the Peason Ridge area, the 
firing sounded like "War of the Wells" Martians were 
coming. It was cool experience. Also, there were 
eerily silent helicopters that flew by on maneuvers. 
The really scary incident was a strange aerial vehicle 
with two huge vertical lifting fans within it and 
completely silent that literally floated over us one 
day just above the tree tops . That vehicle was enough 
to give me nightmares about "black helicopters." 
There was never a dull day working in Fort Polk 
and often weird stuff to observe. Of course, every 
day started with the morning visit to Range Control 
to find out where we could be and should not be.
