Been there, for SETI... there were still a few faded NASA trailers leftover from Apollo. The sheep there are a nuisance IMO, I once found my car completely surrounded by a flock, unable to escape except by gently bumping them.

A really nice Cafe has been built there since then. They get 120,000 visitors a year now that the movie has been screened and people needed to eat. It's a jolly good feed! (And only an hour from my house.)
