I was wondering. It looked like there was a very uniform parking lot in the middle, and the cars looked like auto-racks.

I can say, with certainty, that it is NOT the Toyota loading facility just down the hill from my command post in St. Johns, Portland, Oregon.

It's Northern hemisphere.

Probably North America.

Looks arid.

I can't tell what the autos are reloading from. Obviously, no major ships are docking there. Could they just be reshuffling loads on trains? Maybe.

The Salt Lake City/Provo area looked promising but I couldn't nail it down.

Dave.
