	I know I may sound like an idiot but I'd sure appreciate any ideas on the following: There's an old (1920's) high school very near me and I've heard from alums that there is an underground rifle range that's physically not under the school but under the 6 lane street out front of the school. I talked to an ROTC kid who said that, yes there is a gun range and also an old swimming pool and other areas he says no one knows about. Now I REALLY want in. Since it's an active high school with metal detectors and security, I'm wondering if there are other possible entry points besides the building itself. (Air shaft, Emergency exit, Storm drains)or, if anyone has explored similar structures, what should I be looking for? (Besides the authorities) Thanks, BK I'm a blatant waste of time and resources.

I went to HS in Dallas (will send you the name by pm if you like) we had a rifle range but it was above ground, no windows and it was in the industrial arts wing in the ROTC room, we had a civilian as well as an ROTC rifle team. Several DISD high schools did.

ISU official 50ft small bore rifle range had 6 firing points

most people are so horrified by the thought of a gun range in a school that they dont believe me when I tell them about it

it was not restricted to rotsies either if you joined a marksmanship program you could use it and the school even subsidized your ammo, good ammo too it was Eley Tennex and you got 2 free 50 round boxes per week and you could by more at $1.00 a box!

chances are the school district uses these for storage rooms now and oh yeah most schools Im aware of around here use sonic alarms so just hit a window or door with a tennis ball by accident sometime and stand back and watch while the DISD guards and the cops come roaring up!

	We just got back from a little recon work. The school is over in the Cliff and I talked with the kid again and he describes an entrance on the North side for the gun range and one on the South side for the pool. They're doing a 30,000 sq ft. renovation for a year or so and may be uncovering and burying some entrances in the process. I'm planning to do the bold frontal assault complete with hard hat, work boots and clipboard. One of the good things about being old is being able to BS your way in sometimes. We'll see how it goes. I'm a blatant waste of time and resources.

	My problem with exploring an active school, would be the long hallways. Someone could pop out anywhere at any point while going down a long hallway, and there's not much room to hide in a hallway with all the doors locked, after hours. Here is my suggestions, go into the school during hours, scout for motion detectors, try and find out how many night custodians there are. Go back and hide somewhere till they close doors for the night. At that point, assuming there are no motion detectors, begin your exploration, then simply hide again and leave in the morning when the students start coming in. Granted you would be in there all night, but if what you heard is down there is actually down there, then it should be exciting! One of the Janitors at my old middle school showed me a bomb shelter that was in the basement. Inside they had an old Nuclear Missile (the payload was removed many years ago) that was stored there during the cold war (it wasn't always a school, it used to be a military storage facility) because we had some missile sites in our state nearby. A lot of old schools hold secrets behind their walls, and under their floors!

	My School was built in the 1940's it use to be a elementary school, then a cook school, then closed for like 15 years (used for storage) then opened back up as Longview (use to be called Longview elementary). ROFL it is now the bad kid school where they send all the kids that are trouble makers (:’( I am the only white kid) but they sent me there from some BS reason PM me if you want to know. But any way I have been there 3 years there is asbestos falling out and shit but I have learned so much about the schools passed the windows have been changed (they use to be big walls of opening windows to allow for crosses ventilation for got what decease they were scared about). But I an REALY good friends with the janitor he has worked there for 40 years (even when it was storage) when I was in after school detention I would sneak out and he would show be the boiler room. There was a boom shelter, 2 other floors of old ass class rooms O_o it looked like they just left every thing in them desks, chairs, and every thing else were still there. We had some other cool stuff to but what kills me is that there tearing it all down this summer (were being put in trailers temporarily) DA$M BA@TE#DS any way that is my story. I bet there is some so cool stuff down there. -=djdrew=-

	There's a rumor about a fallout shelter under my school's football field. I would check it out, but theres this whole "No tolerance, you do something stupid, we'll kick you out and not refund your money" policy. Oh well. I'll wait until I get to know some people that could help me out.

	My school may actually have some kind of UE value as well. Constructed in 1927, the building was endowed with a massive basement, and later on during the cold war, a fallout shelter was installed as well. The truly interesting thing is that people, including alumni, and members of our town's historic preservation commission, say there is a tunnel connecting my high school with an elementary school half a block north. Why they'd put a tunnel in is unknown to me, but it might have something to do with the fallout shelter. According to some students (mind you , students) a cinderblock wall was installed in the tunnel between the two. I've tried to dig up possible entrances for this tunnel, as well as find maps of its relative position. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be able to explore it, at least while I'm a student, mostly because what is believed to be the current access to the tunnel is a metal door with a steel plate welded over the keyhole. Breaking this could either end up in my explusion, or that door just just be to a stairway above the roof of the auditorium. When I graduate, I might try and go in, or find another way to get into the tunnels and see what it looks like. On a similar note, does anybody know of a good resource for locations of former bomb shelters, and things like that?

	My school reputedly had a huge WW2 bomb shelter built in the woods. It took me all of 2 days to find it, but unfortunately then it was plugged with rubble, concrete, and dirt piled against the entrance. The year after I left, apparently some kids poured several cans of lighter fuel down the vent shaft (which was a steel tube about 6 inches in diameter sticking a few inches out of the ground), dropped a few matches after it to see what would happen, and blew open an emergency exit hatch hidden in the leaf litter and dirt, and discovered it to be empty except for a huge stash of 80s porno mags in plastic bags. I had a look myself and saw no evidence of anything having happened, but I suppose the school could have filled the entrance in again. I found about 50 80s porno mags myself years ago in those woods, stashed in a plastic bag not far from the supposed entrance to the bunker, so I'm inclined to believe it's a true story.

	I know how you feel Barry. There's another high school I'm aching to get into, but I don't know anyone who has since it's locked down quite tight. Rest in Peace, Ninjalicious. I know that wherever you are, you're finding the best sites for us already.

	My old high school pre-dates WWI (memorial to students who were killed in it) and had a rifle range in the basement. Was it it once through a cadet friend. Right off the football equipment storage. Been through most of that place when I was there, some neat stuff, but didn't really find it all that interesting. Now, the rumours of cult activity when I was younger, that s**t I would love to know more about!

	Of the schools I've been in that had a rifle range, they didn't have much to show for it. Basically just another room. In one highschool it was only a prone-posistion shooting range. Picture a room about 3' high at waist level. Other than insiders knowing about it, its just another neglected storage room with a door that looks like the other few hundred doors in the school. Not marked as a 'rifle range' on any "current" blueprints, just generic mechanical room/storage/crawlspace nomenclature. Just the nature of being a school aborts the 'frozen in time' feeling we hope to get from one of these rooms, being an active building things get cleared out with some regularity for new junk to be put in its place. Still cool to come across though, even though it is a let down when you get into it. The old buildings themselves, even without ranges to find are interesting to go through. Mechanical rooms having been the best (note the having been) since modern equipment is replacing most of the cool old stuff with compact generic cubes that take up 1/10 the space and don't come with the maze of plumbing the original items needed. Again, I've got to lament about not taking pictures when I had the chance to capture the dinosaurs in their room filling glory. Alex.
