Everything ranging from 1-story "houses", 2-story houses, a "city hall", "hotel", gas stations with old pumps, some buildings with basements, sewer drain systems with off-site entry that lead to manholes in the "city", bleachers for training "class" troop formation, a training building with a complete raised-relief map of the area, a "tire maze" for live round assault training, totaled wrecked van (forgot to get a photo of it, though... we walked by it on the way in while scoping the area out and planned to get photos of it, but it started raining on us!). The wrecked van looked like it was right out of a scene from a bombed Iraqi city.  Basic Information Type: Outoor / Indoor Status: Occasionally Active Accessibility: Moderate "and then some" Recommendation: worth the trip  Physical Information Address Monterey, California United States Owner: Bureau of Land Management See a map of this location  Hazards  Interesting Features An entire training complex "city" built of cinder-block buildings with concrete flooring.

The area was developed during the 1980's by the 7th Infantry division and utilized as an advanced training area. The training area included a small town (called Dodge City) that had pop up shooting targets of bad guys and good guys. In the 1980's the Impossible City was built to train the infantry in urban assault tactics. Impossible City derives its name from the way the city is built, all areas can be easily seen from adjacent buildings, and most doors open to a central area. Today the facility is run and used by the "eff_bee_eye" for urban training. They sublease the area to local law enforcement agencies and military units such as the Navy Seals. This area is off limits to the general public.  Media Coverage None.  Future Plans None.  Stories Security concerns Sun, Nov 9th, 2008 posted by cambrianguy Add your own story  Photo Galleries Cloudy/Rainy Visit Sun, Nov 9th, 2008 posted by cambrianguy 25 pictures Rained out group trip Mon, Nov 10th, 2008 posted by seany 5 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
