Talk:Pohakuloa Training Area

fencing ref
The article is talking about fencing at the Waikoloa dry forest, which is way makai of PTA (14 miles, or 6 miles from the new addition). The press release was put out by the army because they helped with the work, but it wasn't on their land. Note that they're talking about protecting wiliwili, which doesn't grow that high up. Large portions of PTA are indeed fenced, but I don't know of a reference for it (I believe they were actually completed back around 2001 or so, because there are some pretty big trees coming up inside, but I'm not sure).

 * Sorry for the late follow up, but yes, good point. The major missing part now I see is the 2006 addition, which I ran across in a Saddle Road EIS. Need to add this. And of course the DU controversy. W Nowicki (talk) 17:33, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Cheeseburgers in Paradise
I trained up there around 1997-98. I remember there was an all-hands club in the base camp with a greasy-spoon kind of restaurant that made one of the best cheeseburgers I ever had in my life. I'm dead serious. I was stationed at MCBH and I went to The Shack out in Kailua (which I loved), but the all-hands club at PTA... yeah... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.97.69.10 (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Nice to hear, but Wikipedia would of course require a verifiable source for inclusion in the article. Anything published? W Nowicki (talk) 17:33, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

"open to public"
Part of PTA is a cooperative game management area, which means that licensed hunters can go in with approval. I believe it's a fairly onerous process though, and it's frequently closed for training and such. So on the one hand it's a "public hunting area", but it's hardly open access.

 * Ah, yes, I remember running across something like that. So we need to make it clear there is no visitor's center or tours of the garrison. At least mention the hunting situation in the body, but should we just leave it out of the infobox or say something like "Limited"?W Nowicki (talk) 19:49, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
