So I heard that the steel I-Beams under the Silo Cap Doors were used for closing them. The hydrolics were removed with the doors open and I-beams were placed across with wooden boards and large amounts of hay bales over them. The Doors were then pushed onto the hay by heavy equipment with the hay then lit on fire. As everything burned, the doors slowly closed into position with only the I-beams remaining under them. Possibly bent from the extreme heat.
@@jeffwenig5923 that is absolutely intriguing to say the least! What a clever way to get the doors back into position! Maybe that’s why a lot of these Atlas F sites look charred or burned on the walls..
Indeed! I also saw the documentation with the county you’re referring to… it definitely sounds like a hassle, but at least they didn’t condemn the entire proposition to pump!
Fascinating tour, thank you! For all the damage the water does, it at least keeps out "visitors" who wreck/graffiti the place. I suppose the low oxygen content of the water and total lack of light is partly responsible for the preservation of things like wood, sheetrock, etc. Amazing LCC and very cool also to see so much of the crib remaining as well as the fact that it's still hung. I was hoping you would film the upper level, but I don't blame you in the least for not trusting a flimsy spiral staircase that's been submerged for 60+ years! I really want to visit 564A/B sometime for the history alone but it's pretty far off the beaten track.
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it! And you’re probably right about the low oxygen levels being submerged all of these years. I hope it doesn’t take its toll on the site once it gets dried out! He’s doing a good job thus far, so we’ll see what happens. You should definitely get out to see the 564th! Stay tuned for more videos!
It will be interesting to see what this guy does with this site... Have you heard anything about Niks old site in Denver.. I wonder what plans the new owner has in store... I believe it was 724-C.... Bryce thx for bringing us along on another tour...
He mentioned possibly a bed and breakfast in the LCC, whilst leaving the silo in its current state (albeit dry). I haven’t heard anything out of 724-C, rather than NBL commenting on that last video claiming, “Nik still owns the site”. I suppose it’s drawn too much publicity than their liking. Much like Deer Trail last month… that place will be receive a “Sturgis” fate soon I’m afraid
Yep Deer Trail has had a rough past... Would be nice if someone just went in and cleaned it up a little... If it were sectioned off , I'm sure many would come and offer help to clean and later he could offer tours... But I don't think that's going to happen... Bryce thx again for the info...
@@garyjones2582 very true, it could be a labor of love for enthusiasts who’d like to contribute a helping hand. Those trespassers are what I was referring to as far as sealing its fate this time around

It’s a great channel to watch. The amount of filters he has to run to clean the water is crazy. I can’t imagine how much power he is using to pump it.

What about the mold now that it's been pumped out?
@@robertthomas3364 we’ll have to see what he does to keep airflow down there!
What’s a guy have to do to get his Atlas F featured on here?
@@stevesavage1357 hell, I’d do an entire series on your site Steve!
Yeah, we raised a stink about water contamination in Ellenburg Depot. Cancer will do that to a town.
@@captaintrips2980 definitely understandable!
