The Tar Pits in Lawton, Oklahoma

This area is on a military base. As such, there are rules associated with accessing the area of the cache. Visitation was approved by the brigadier general, who asked me to put this in the description:

1. Visitor Pass Required: All visitors aged 18 and older who do not possess a DoD ID card must stop at the Visitor Control Center (VCC) located outside the gate to obtain a visitor pass prior to entry.
2. Background Check: All visitors are subject to a standard federal background check. Individuals with certain criminal histories or active warrants will be denied access.
3. Required ID: Visitors must present a valid REAL ID-compliant state driver’s license or passport.
4. Restricted Areas: Visitors must remain in publicly accessible areas and obey all posted signs regarding restricted or training areas.
