I know this site well. There was a missile malfunction in 1962 causing the missile to collapse. They sent the Atlas to Convair in California for repair. I would say by the time they could repair it, the Alas system was close to being obsolete. That site sat unarmed for a while before it was decommissioned. A great item there is the large yellow missile tilt erector at the gate entrance.
U are 100% correct sir, so badass. Im always looking for a nut or bolt to take home but this place is literally picked clean. Its an excellent place to get away... I hide here all the time
At 14:00, that's a gamma-ray detector up on a pole, to detect an atomic flash. Most of these underground missile sites were deliberately flooded when abandoned to discourage urbex. The Nike missile site in Lumberton, NJ had its underground batteries flooded, and then they built the public works buildings on top. The surrounding barracks, radar installation, and offices had housing developments built over where they used to be.
I am obsessed with these old missile silos ever since getting to tour the Atlas F silo near Wilson, KS! Would love to see more of them! We followed the maps and found a few that were completely flooded, but haven’t ventured to an Atlas E site yet! Kansas native and history nerd here 😁
I have NEVER seen this site as raggedy looking ad this video made it seem... U went when it was literally raining like 15 minutes before. This place is damn near bone dry everywhere u guys filmed on an average day. Just sayin
I do not believe we made it look like anything other than how it was.. I show things as they are with no intention on presenting anything in a negative light. I would have loved to come on a nice day. Maybe I will in the near future. I still think it was an awesome place to visit. Wet or dry. Like i said, I would not mind a revisit with maybe some drone footage also 🙃
@@pulloveradventures7215 its worth just stomping around the ground. Go out rn in the winter time, its incredible. Im waiting for a hard freeze so i can go ice skatinf inside💎

@@dokkencrouse6998 Be careful, I have visited this location when the owner was there and he wasn't happy....

Such a shame to see these bases flooded, and damaged like this.
It's a Hydro Power Facility. I bet there is an Aquifer below it.
Cool place to visit 👍
I hang out here all the time :) u can access it easily and it's about 6 inches deep in there or so
its a wonder nobody ever scrapped all those weird metal objects...
I know right where this site is. Driven by the entry way into it. Always wanted to go look at it but do know who owns the land.
I would love to see this site. Does the owner allow people to visit? I would love to purchase a raw site like this.
From what I have heard. Hit and miss with the land owner.
I never take my woman on silo hunting tours lol all she does is complain.
🤣
