Secret Agenda

Pam Hall left Portland ***drove up the Columbia River to Biggs Junctions and then south on Highway 97. *** She saw a yellow sign on her right ***. The sign contained the word Ngawang and a white arrow pointing down a gravel road to the east, She turned right. She looked at the rugged and barren terrain on either side of the road and thought of Nahir's description of Ngawang's location. Thus the meager vegetation, consisting of mainly sagebrush and an occasional juniper, did not surprise her. In a few miles the road became very rough. She proceeded cautiously until she saw a yellow turret ahead beside the road. As she approached, a guard dressed in yellow and armed with a rifle motioned her to stop.
The guard come over to her window. "What is your business? he asked. Hall explained the reason for her visit. "Are you carrying any firearms or recording devices?" he asked.
"No," Hall replied.
The guard inspected the car's interior and its trunk, before motioning her to proceed.
At this point the road continued southeast, narrowed and became rougher. The gravel had turned to rocks, as she drove down the side of a canyon. She inched her way along for several miles until she saw a large outcropping ahead. She continued on and was startled as she came around the outcropping. She immediately brought the car to a halt and stared at the sight ahead. At the bottom of the canyon she saw an airfield, a deep blue lake and the yellow buildings of a city lying along the west side and to the south of the lake. She saw macadam streets, one of which led partway up the canyon and joined the rocky that she had followed. She wondered how it was possible to build such a place in this remote region.
