Found an abandoned missile silo..

Judging by the signs, don't be surprised if you wake up and your testicles decided not to work. Or you have a new arm that you affectionatly name Bobby. Or you just get Cancer. :lol:

Honestly more pics, that looks awesome

I've lived here for about 8 years.. This isn't exactly my backyard. Now that me and my buddies all drive, we're able to go farther. We had to drive about 20 minutes and decided to treck into some woods that we've never seen before.

And this place has no grafitti anywhere, so I don't think many kids know about it.. I've never heard about it either.. It was probably a good 3 miles into the woods..

Man that place brings back meomories,it was quite the well known area in my day.Just try not to get caught.That place will net you some federal prison time.....There is an active base or training facility right across the street,Lakehurst Naval Base,Fort Dix is all connected to it.

I think thats an old NIKE sam site. They were surface to air missiles that were armed with a nuclear warhead and were based in new jersey.

We have something similar down here but all underground locations that have been filled in with concrete. We are actually designing a subdivision on the property and as long as the Phase 2 Environmental assessment comes back clean then it will be ok to build there. The phase 1 was fine, but now they need to do the phase 2 and get into the real testing to determine if the site is contaminated or not and if so it can all be treated anyway. but yeah, be careful from the law and radioactive crap. pretty cool though.

reminds me back in college when my roomates would go to a closed psych hospital in the middle of the night and check out all the crap that was still there. freaking, but cool at the same time to just wonder and think what happened in those places when they were being used.

Maybe your camera batteries died from radiation exposure. HA HA. It could happen. Be careful of radiation. Neat find though.

The Nike series of missiles would carry nukes. They viewed things differently back then. Maybe that's why my generation is so neurotic, considering all of the "Duck and Cover" drills they had us doing in school.

Radioactive materials would make me not want to visit that place :dw:
