It's just a few miles north of the University of Maryland, College Park. I've seen the signs saying US Government Property, but never could've expected this!

I'd be interested in knowing where. Maybe you're thinking of Safety Villiage in the Lowry Park Zoo area, Hillsborough County. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=51.006552,-114.099798&ie=UTF8&ll=28.016704,-82.468548&spn=0.00184,0.001985&t=k&z=19&om=1 Jack - Pinellas County?

I've driven down Powder Mill Rd. plenty of times and they have a lot of signs that say "gov't property" and "keep out" and whatnot. I had no idea that that was back there. Great find. That area is about 20 mins outside of Washington, DC and about 40 mins from Baltimore. There is an actual (or assumed) agriculturual faciility around there as well as a farm.
