Is the site that shows up on google maps of Des Moines a real place?

Yes it is.

If you are actually looking inside a State Park located just slightly northwest of Ankeny Iowa near Polk City, yes. Great bunch of guys down there. y1

Yes they have a great site at Big Creek Park just north of Polk City IOWA. The view I found shows the two circles and the parking lot. A little hard to find unless you have written directions on how to get there. If all goes well will be there in a couple of weeks.

Yes - one of the club members figured out how to add that site to Googles database. If you switch to "Satellite View" and zoom in you can see the picnic tables. I've always wondered how come you can see cars but you NEVER see people? How do they scrub the people out of those photos?
You can get directions to the site from one of our contest flyers - There is one posted here:

Click on where it says to 'Download a copy' and there are maps and instructions on the back side.
The website is not very well maintained because none of us knows enough about web mastering it to do a very good job.
John is referring to our "Two Days of Carrier & Combat" that we cobbled together after our Spring Contest was snowed out as a semi-replacement for the Sig Contest.
