I decided to re post the old pictures from the Titan Missile Base. Now everyone can check it out for years to come. Pulled over from the old Area51 site. This facility was near DeerTrail Colorado. I will post a video up of this expedition in time, once I get a few other things done. Enjoy.

The main Doors themselves for the silos occupy the space of a two car garage. It sticks approximately 3 or 4 feet out of the ground. The Doors themselves are at least 6 feet or more thick precast rebar re-enforced concrete. They can be opened normally in approximately 40 seconds – minute, the doors can also be blown off completely during an emergency launch.

The pictures on this page were taken April 15th 2007, as we toured the old abandoned Sugar Mill in Eaton Colorado. This old sugar mill was full of surprises, and completely loaded with equipment. We had a lot of fun checking everything out, and covered all 5 stories in and out, every square inch of […]
