| | | Hi All, New member here but not new to 'UE'. Always had an interest in exploring ruins, mostly in non-urban areas though. Probably my ideal would be a picturesque site such as a coastal fortification or ruin in a desolate area on a mountain near the sea. I've done a lot of 'bunker spelunking' in various parts of S England and SW Germany and in N California and Hawaii. My most amazing exploration was to the Sutter Buttes Titan I missile silo complex near Colusa, CA. I went there three times between 2000-2004 and got into the tunnel system twice via rappelling the exhaust silo and power dome. Went back with some friends 2 years ago (2010) and discovered that the grating that had been pulled back to allow entry was welded shut AND about 10 tons of concrete blocks placed atop it.... I don't know what the status is currently but would love to try and get in there again. That was like the holy grail of underground exploration! I'm also curious to explore other sites around SF, CA, though I've already been in most of the Marin Headlands bunkers multiple times. If anyone is up for an adventure, I would like to get into the WWII harbor defense command post located in the Presidio which may actually be accessible (though shielded with vast quantities of poison oak). Attached is an image from last summer (June 2011) of the escape shaft from Battery 129 in the Marin Headlands that the NPS felt compelled to seal (before I got to check it out... ) (mod edit: POE photo removed) Cheers, kilolima
