[QUOTE="Tharivious_Meliamne, post: 2564998"] Yep, there is indeed - two well known bases within distance of a day trip in the region. Fort Drum is near Watertown, New York, along the western edge of the state, where numerous military personel involved in the recent real-world wars were sent from. There's also Fort Ticonderoga on the eastern side of the North Country in Clinton County close to the Vermont state border and Lake Champlain, but that's more of a historical site and has been inactive for quite a while. Also yep. I was measuring the 7 hour drive time from larger towns like Potsdam and Massena. Watertown would be another of the larger cities in the county, and likely be a bit shorter drive as long as you know the way through the state. Much if not most of the area is, like Franklin County (where I live), rural farm country and the main businesses that succeed up here are industrial factories (Bombardier set up a manufacturing plant in the old Air Force base in Plattsburgh [Clinton County]) and, though it's not exactly travel brochure worthy, prisons and correctional facilities (we have 3 of them in my town) that are home to many low-risk criminals from around the state.
