Sounds about right to have hit the lull between the early birds and the
later supper crowd...  :)

 NB>>> I'm quite sure of that... ;)

As I said, you asked it for something it didn't know about... the hours
for the gate closings weren't factored in, just the closest gate... ;) 
I can imagine that a GPS would go crazy around Fort Drum... It has some
gates that are now closed permanently, some are open intermittently and
some that may well have regular hours...  I know of three main gates,
usually open all the time, but I've not been by them all hours, so don't
know for sure if that is true for the wee hours... ;)

... There is no feast that does not come to an end.
