They had me shut off the engine, open all the exterior compartments and they did an inspection. They also went through the interior with cabinet doors open and asked the typical questions. The GPS coordinates for the main gate entrance are 47.64182 N and -117.64443 W. The Famcamp hasn’t changed much, but they did add a large earth berm around the exterior of the camp which hides it somewhat from base housing.
