Pauls comments lead to an interesting question.
Who owns the town of Cook?
It used to be an AN town with a population of 220 and a school and a
hospital.
I beleive now it has a population of 3 ,and everything else is closed.
I guess that ASR owns the fuel facility, what about the barracks .
Does NRC use crew cars across the TAR?
