Coincidentally, this area is about 10 miles away from Al Capone's Minnesota hideaway. The old Air Force Base has been nicknamed "Lookout Mountain". The area is in Finland, MN which is about 65 miles North of Duluth. The base closed back in 1980 and was one of twenty-eight radar stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent radar surveillance network prompted by the start of the Korean War.
