This is an excerpt from a comment about the Bekaa Valley from travel.seanrorison.com "Farmlands make up the Bekaa, but there are numerous gypsy camps - they leave behind an incredible amount of garbage when they leave. Upon closer inspection, while stopped at a checkpoint, I noticed that the gypsy tents I was looking at were actually camouflage for dozens of tanks and anti-aircraft guns. Later on I would see piles of dirt beside a gas station - the gas station was only occupied by soldiers, and the mounds of dirt were hiding tanks from plain view. Careful where you point that camera." Sounds like the wild, wild West to me. Perfect hiding place.
