It then occured that I didn’t have a clue where in the country you were looking for abandoned military sites or what kind of sites (old west, Spanish American, Great War, WWII or cold war, Army or Navy or Air Force or AAF, etc. I know dozens of sites in or near Nevada from Civil war to AEC. More information is required on what you seek is required?

I'm not sure where you are, but around here in western canada there was a great deal of training activity for the commonwealth countries during the second world war. Young airmen from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada were trained here and then went overseas. I recently had the opprtunity to wander around the remains of two of these both near Calgary Alberta Canada. (Kircaldy and Claresholm)There was not much left, but in both cases the hangars were largely intact, and the streets, etc clearly visible. One abandoned base at Claresholm Alberta, still has some other buildings in addition to the Hangars, such a the mess hall and several barracks. At Claresholm, the runways and taxiways are maintained, and aircraft still use the field on a limited basis.
: At Kircaldy, the runways, one of which was still usable a few short years ago, are now over grown, but still visible.

: Ask the locals, they'll point you there.

: Yeah, here in Essex, England, we have a massive underground nuclear command bunker (an R4) that, until recently, was empty and dead. It's now a tourist attraction but is still impressive nonetheless.
