So this historical site opened not too long ago. Home of the 400th missile squadron and 50 peacekeeper missiles. 
 

I thought their pictures were pretty cool that were being posted on the Wyoming state parks fb page so I decided to spread the word. Give them some internet traffic and visit the site if you are so inclined.

I'd love to visit one of these. My 7th and 8th grade home room teacher was a retired Colonel who was a high up at nuclear missile sites for years and he would regale us with interesting stories about these places.

My redneck ancestors lived in the general vicinity of Damascus, AR when the Titan missile with a fully functional nuclear payload exploded nearby.  So this post piques interest.

Thanks for the tip. I visited the Lawn Atlas Missile Base and it was awesome.

Those old silos are really cool. My old man maintained the Titan II's that surrounded Tucson in the 70's. He says that's where he learned to dip snuff and not spit,.
