<<Y'all realize that, IF this is the location cited, its only around 30-40
miles across moderatly rough terrain to the Covenant, Sword and Arm of the
Lord Militia Compound over in Arkansas??

Just an interesting thought . . .>>

<<Several people notified me to say they cannot find any Army Base 
named Camp Gruber, Braggs Oklahoma...  Well I found that it 
does exist... I even got a couple phone numbers for it.

At this website: http://www.speedtrap.com/speedtrap/oklahoma.html
which tells people where to expect speed traps in OK, I found this:

 BRAGGS 
 town
 Additional Info: This is the mother of all traps if your from out of town
 you will get caught no matter what. The trap is located right next to Camp
 Gruber at the first convience store and the cop is always there. He uses K
 band on the radars. I once got stopped twice in one day and got tickets
 both times!!!

The photo was taken approximately two weeks prior to the Oklahoma
bombing. Approximately one week later the pilot flew over the same area
and the encampment was gone.

The encampment was located within Camp Gruber, north-east of Braggs,
Oklahoma. You can tell that the camp had just been built. There are also
two (2) large portable chemical tanks located on site.

Kent,

I have (withheld), my uncle, and Norio discussing the situation. (withheld) is the
one who is in actual contact with the pilot. Hopefully we can get the
pilot on Art's show.

Dear (see prior post, above)
Last I heard from the Montana bunch (below).  Wonder what happened? Suddenly 
no answer at their house phone.  Norio might know more at this moment.  
Wonder if the Texas stand-off has any bearing, maybe they mustered 
out-- just a wild guess.  Plot thickens.

Just the webguy, not that big on politics.
Kent
---------------------------------------------------------
Kent,

I had to step out. (Name withheld) did not get back in time. The number that Norio
is calling is not our home phone. It is the offices of the (Name withheld)

Also, apparently the pilot has signed a contract with book publisher and
video producer. The conversation (Name withheld) had with him was not very
congenial.

Will see what next week brings.

Have a good weekend.

Sincerely,

Subj:	Re: IMAGES: (Fwd) Latest on OKC (Ryder Truck) Photo
Date:	97-05-04 13:41:52 EDT

There are a few things that confuse me about this.
  1: The area of "the base" is too clean.
  2: There does not appear to be any discernable entrance to the compound
  3: Wouldn't it be logical for the truck to be backed into the tent
  4: I did a little research on the site and found another copy of the image
  entitled                 
       ftbrag2.jpg it can be found at
  http://members.aol.com/bardsquill/ftbrag2.jpg
       if this is the case was this image really shot in OK or was it shot at
  Fort Bragg                         believe in North Carolina.
  5: There appears to be some sort of writing in red ink on the bottom of the
  image
       I can't seem to enhance it enough to read it but someone else may be
  able to.
  
  This is my first time posting to this list. I know I may get flamed for
  being a non-believer, but  I find this to be unbelievable.

 Thanks for your commentary.
 
 I'd advise that you write Norio Hayakawa about the above questions.  I have
 also asked about the ftbrag.jpg which Norio uploaded to me, and he mentioned
 a town nearby the alleged base.  Perhaps he can further clarify.  For a while
 yesterday I included the ftbrag.jpg image on the website, but decided the
 graphic quality was too grainy and withdrew the link in hopes to produce a
 better scan; however, I left the image at the site on purpose, perhaps to use
 later.
 
 I can assure you that I personally have received considerable correspondence
 from key people in Montana concerning the identity (as yet unknown to myself)
 of the pilot. I have hopes that this pilot-photographer will soon surface. If
 so, there is at least one notable radio talk show host that will offer
 immediate audience.
 
 Please forward your questions to Norio Hayakawa, GroomWatch@aol.com.  To
 assist I will CC this email.
 
 Also I'll try to enhance the red ink at the bottom of the image.  I am
 looking at the hard copy this very moment, and yes, I can see the faint image
 (letters?) although didn't notice before. Thanks for this clue.  If I can
 extract anything legible I will post on the website.  I would encourage
 anyone out there with high-tech image resolution equipment to help out.
 
 Meanwhile, upon authorization, I will continue to post updates in the "notes
 from email" section of the website.

Subj:	Comments on Aerial Photo by NORIO HAYAKAWA
Date:	97-05-04 15:48:31 EDT

Hello, (name withheld)
Thanks for your interest in these photos.
To answer your question about the red writing at the bottom of the photo, 
it says: in scribbled handwriting:   4  -  95  CAMP Gruber   Braggs   Okla

That is what it says on the (2nd generation) photocopy that I first received.  
In other words, the photos that are on the web-site are 2nd generation color 
photocopies.

Yes,(name withheld), I believe that the location of that CAMP Gruber is  slightly 
northeast of Braggs, Oklahoma. Braggs is located  slightly east of Muskogee, Oklahoma.

All I can say, (name withheld), is that the photos are interesting, to say the least!!   
As far as the yellow Ryder truck parked toward the tent and not backed up toward 
the tent, who knows why?

Also, those whitish walls completely enclose the whole area......and therein 
lies the mystery.  This definitely looks like a temporary enclosure.  So no entrance.
Until the pilot comes out in the public, all we can do is speculate.
All we are told is that the pilot took these photos about two weeks before 
the Oklahoma bombing.   ONe week later (after he took the photo), the pilot 
allegedly flew over the same area and the encampment was gone.   Then one week 
later, the Oklahoma bombing took place.

This may have NOTHING to do with the Oklahoma boming............but again, who knows?
Remember that these photos are 2nd generation color photocopies.
Anyway, that's all I can think of , right now.
from NORIO
