Holy hell how much does that cost? Maybe could buy your own island for that cost (j/k, maybe...)

I hear Epstein's island is going for cheap….. because it reeks of bleach.

 

[Nosferatu]

Looks like it would make a nice tomb.

IIRC - he said at the time of the build that it cost $100K? I don't remember if he mentioned how far in the past it was built.

Like 15 years old

So it has power and only only one tubelight . What happens if the power goes out? You become an instant mole!

It worked for the druids:

Yeah - it has multiple problems (besides, you have destroyed the anonymity), which he pointed out - but the general principle is interesting.

I would think that something along the lines of a "T" or "I" layout (multiple huts, perpendicular to the main living quarters) would have some advantages instead of one long arch.

A buried arch would be cool for an underground shooting range if it was long enough. Moisture would be a constant issue though so that woudl have to be addressed via vebtilation/heating or ? which adds $ for build and long term year to year. Would be kind of a nasty place to be also.

Umatilla Army Depot has a "few".

Would make a nice Senior Citizen's community (golf carts, poodles, sans-a-belt slacks, etc.).

Minor purging of nerve gas residue may be advisable.

The vid narrator spoke to the issue of humidity and how the setup addressed it (ventilation).

That shape......
Reminds me of my younger days in Hawaii.



Sliced bread, mayo, salt and pepper and the fish cake slices. And/or add to your saimin, along with sliced spam and a bit of cut green onions.

LUNCH TIME.

Aloha, Mark

HaHa! Very clever and funny! However, New Grange and the other mounds at Bru na Boinne were built @ 5000 years ago, Neo-lithic, pre-dating the Iron Age coming of both Celts and druids to Ireland.

Yep it worked. A tomb lasting 5000 years is pretty good I would say. Cool spot btw but too many people. I actually like portal dolmen better cuz zero people. I call all the ancient bubblegumers in that area "druids".

 

[albin25]

I'll need a cool camouflaged entrance for my bunker too….
… like in the movie "R E D"

Amazing place. One of the "Igloos" filled with ordnance went up during a routine check by an MP. I saw the 20 foot deep crater about 25 years ago.

Secret Service had a small version of these built during the bay of pigs, for JFK, as a quick defcon 2 get away.

Or was it for code Marilyn ?

You could always buy the old minuteman?/titan? complex near ritzville. I think they filmed beyond Thunder dome? and some other movie there. Not sure if it ever sold. It was on the market a long time. There is a lot of info and tours of it on YouTube. We used to entertube down the partially flooded tunnels/silos near Mattawa when I was a kid. Now some outfit out of tri-cities takes scuba tourists through the silos. Videos of that on YouTube also. As I recall there are three sites total and only the mattawa one is flooded as far as I know.

Edit: Googled it,
