I guess you could call this my first large location of 2019.

The Government Pipelines & Storage System was a large network of fuel depots tasked with supplying fuel to nearby military bases along an interconnected underground pipeline system which at one time stretched over 1600 miles around the country. There isn't much information online about this site at all but it appears to have closed somewhere around 2006. I've explored a few of these now and this one is my favourite, compared to the others it has far more left behind and although smaller than them I found a lot more interesting.

Its been a while since I explored a large military site so it made a welcome change on a bleak windswept January morning.

Looks like a fun place!

Looks like your 2019 is off to a good start. Enjoyed the history and pics. #13 is pretty cool.

Very cool place, these are great pics! I especially like 11-19. Thanks for sharing!

Nice stuff, and nice find!
What's in the jars in 11?

Nothing, all the cans and jars were empty. But during it's operational life it was a small lab for quality control checks on the oil and fuel.

Oh I see it now, the glass is just heavily discolored.

Outstanding location!

Really cool place! Military sites always interest me yet I still haven't gotten to one. The Poe looked convenient haha!

I assume the whole system is shutdown?

A number of the storage depots have closed and been disconnected from the remaining network, yes. All the underground tanks are full of water now.

Fuck dude this is top notch.

very good!

Sweet captures! Interesting contraption in #13.
