Looks like a pool, but it's pretty big and awefully odd place, being stuck out in the middle of the woods.

Did you even zoom out, Chris? It seems to be connected by a very long and weirdly shaped road to whatever the fuck this HUGE complex is. The real question is: what the fuck is THIS?

Yes I did, and I did see the trails/roads.

It's still very odd to see a large, in ground pool with nothing but woods around it, even if there are access roads/trails.

I don't think it's a pool. It could be, and it looks like one, but I don't think that's what it is.

The complex is the Boeing Leadership Complex (as linked above). It's flagged at the entrance on Google Maps.

Extremely interesting. Now that sounds like a fun place to try to walk around.

I just looked at it on Bing birds-eye view. Looking at it from different angles, it looks like a reflecting pool(?) Those 'steps' at the end of it are sitting some distance away in the Bing pics.

It looks like a reflecting pool. If you face east, you see what looks like a headstone or some kind of monument?

That's where the Boeing execs throw their parties. The thing is likely a swimming pool where they get to skinny dip with hookers out in the woods.

I say we crash a party, take pics, and then take the high priced hookers back with us.

My thing is, if it were a pool, wouldn't there be rainwater in it? I am planning on checking it out on Saturday.

This is what unused pools looks like. It doesn't look the same. Maybe there is a drain somewhere or something though...

Exactly what I was thinking.

I was thinking it might be some sort of stage where they host outside events.
