Surplus Underground Missile Base For Sale In Arizona

In the late 70's TCE was everywhere. I remember taking a Q tip, dipping it into the trych, and cleaning food stains off of my ties (which we all wore at the lab). Nobody thought it was dangerous.

I agree, in a confined space with poor ventilation...it might be a real problem to live down there.

And drilling a well for potable water is Iffy too!

Zappa, have it checked for radon and lead paint before we turn it into 55+ NES COMMUNITY, some of our members are sensitive kind.

Perfect! Especially since it's just north of Saddlebrook retirement community.

I'm familiar with the area. I liked it out there (except that 70 degrees at Christmas makes it feel like NOT Christmas).

Also, looking at all of those tunnels reminds me of being a kid in Boy Scouts. We used to camp in an old coastal battery. We played hide & seek in them. We were required to use candles for lighting to prevent us from running too fast and falling into one of the ammunition sub-pits. Ahhh, the good old days!

I was at the Titan missile museum in Tuscon (actually a bit south of Tucson) during the summer. Quite interesting and worth the time if you are in the area.

It is kept in pretty good condition from what I saw.

There actually is such a place. Huh. I'd have to guess they're not getting scads of thumbgazer traffic.

If I lived in Kansas (tornado alley), I'd seriously consider an underground home.

What can I say? Billions of taxpayer's money on both sides very well spent! Here is the similar facility built by Soviets, also available for the fraction of the cost over here. This one was back then lovingly nicknamed by commie soldiers "Klondike":

The silo is a quick 20 minute drive to Biosphere 2.
