Crushed dome

This dome felt the wrath of the small tornado that rolled through the camp. Taken shortly after I stood awe-struck as it rolled along in a flurry of dust.

One of the many photo's of the tunnels spanning the underground missile silo complex.
One of the only photo's of the tunnels that wasn't 80% blurry.

Silo power dome ceiling

Again, one of the few somewhat legible photo's taken underground in the missile silo complex.

Stairway to hell

50 feet or so underground making our way to the elevator shaft which will eventually lead us deeper into the missile silo complex.

Silo radar antenna pit

Pit that held all the expensive electronics that drove the radar antenna, which sat in the suspended harness above.

Radar harness frame

Radar harness frame

Frame for the radar harness. This thing was about 30' across, and weighed a whole heck-of-a-lot.

Yarrr! Here be pirates!
