Also, it's worth mentioning the coolness of the equipment they have there. The main telescope is 100 meters in diameter and moves frighteningly quick for such a large structure, it's the biggest steerable dish antenna in the world. They also have several other antennae there, some of them are pretty old and have an interesting 1950s industrial design to them.

I visited the site a few years back. It's really remote. You lose cell service long before you get there. There are no nearby interstate highways, so you have to travel a fair distance down country roads through mountainous areas to get there. The visitor's center is pretty nice, and they give bus tours, in a diesel bus of course. When the tour guide said that digital cameras were prohibited inside the fence line, there was an audible sigh from the tourists, except me, since I brought my old film camera. On the way out it was dark, and I almost hit a deer like 3 or 4 times on the twisty mountain roads, so if I ever go back, I plan to leave when there's enough daylight to reach the interstate or a town.
