Everything I said last year about the Engineer Proving Ground changing hands to the County is OBE (Overtaken By Events). The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process identified the EPG as prime re-development space for Army expansion. So, instead of becoming park land, the EPG is about to become home to a number of highly secure installations. As of now, Feb 06, the EPG is in a mostly abandoned condition, but some time this year the fences will go up. Get those quasi-legal runs in while you can; these may be the last in our lifetimes.
If you do run the creek, stay away from the section below Telegraph Rd, near the airfield. That is a very sensitive area, and the MPs will hunt you down.
