Fort Ord: Former Firing Range 8
Former U.S. Army Fort Ord Firing Range 8, now part of the Fort Ord Dunes State Park.
This range was visible from California State Route 1 north of Monterey, California, and I remember seeing it in use many times from the 1970s until the base closed in 1994.
The California State Park system has preserved the range master's tower, and a few other structures, but the majority of the range is being reclaimed by nature.
