Camp Atterbury, in Bartholomew County, is an Army National Guard training center for artillery, infantry and helicopter pilots.

One other thing in that neck of the woods, though not in Bartholomew County is a huge, huge depot of VX nerve gas, sitting pretty, out in the open.

Governors Bayh and O'Bannon, bumblers both, have delayed destroying, or at least, storing safely, this very dangerous substance.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is but a few minutes away as well. A worldwide audience for the great American spectacle. With the total lack of security, it seems a pretty viable target. I went to the F1 race just after Sep 11 last year. I fully expected to see Nat'l Guard or at least a large presence of uniformed officers, but found nothing but elderly yellow shirts shaking down beer coolers. Pathetic.

I appreciate what you are saying and appreciate the information, but Camp Atterbury is in Johnson County.

The VX dump is near Route 41 about 45 minutes north of Terre Haute,IN in Vermillion County.

Everyone thereabouts knows it is there and there exist several versions of a map with the VX place and nearby Indiana towns with arrows advising that "you are here," as appropriate....

Newport, Indiana on Hwy 63 just north of Hwy 36

And it's not a gas, it's a liquid/gel nerve agent (skin contact). Dispersed about 500 ft up, it sticks to all the leaves, etc and stays around for a long time. Brush against it and you are dead in 20 minutes.
