Remember Honeycutt Road? That's where you learned how to "lay the battery" with an M2 Aiming Circle. This area will become a parking lot for a new elementary school to replace the very old Geronimo school. I guess that's just "SADULU" for the old training site on the prominent ridge line of Honeycutt Road.
