Remnants of these Cold War sites can be found in parks, town dumps, and U.S. Army Reserve Centers today. This Nike radar tracking station atop Clausland Mountain in Rockland County overlooks Piermont and the Tappan Zee. Several buildings are actively used today. More information about this site and the Nike missile program in general can be gleaned from the <a href="http://alpha.fdu.edu/~bender/NY04.html">Nike Missiles & Missile Sites</a><a href="http://alpha.fdu.edu/~bender/NY04.html"> website</a>.<br> </font><p align="center"><font color="#CCCCCC" size="1"><img border="2" src="nike4.jpg" width="285" height="425"></font><font color="#CCCCCC"> <br></font><p align="center"> <p align="center"><font color="#CCCCCC" size="1"><img border="2" src="nike7.jpg" width="500" height="335"><br> <br> <br> <br> <img border="2" src="nike8.jpg" width="500" height="278"><br> <br> <br> <br> <img border="2" src="nike3a.jpg" width="326" height="425"><br> <br> <br> <br> <img border="2" src="nike6.jpg" width="285" height="425"></font><font color="#CCCCCC"> <br> <br> <br> <br><br> </font> <hr WIDTH="100%"> <center> <p><a href="http://www.hudsonvalleyruins.org"><img SRC="window.jpg" ALT="Yaz’ Hudson Valley Ruins and Abandoned Buildings, etc." height=70 align=CENTER></a> <p><font size=+0><a href="http://www.hudsonvalleyruins.org/">Yaz’ Hudson Valley Ruins and Abandoned Buildings, etc.</a></font> <p><font size=+0><a href="http://www.hudsonvalleyruins.org/yasinsac/email.html">E-mail Rob Yasinsac</a></font></center> <hr width=100%> <center> <p><font size=-1>This page and all photographs copyright © 2007 by Robert J.
