|  | | | To expand on the cheese...
It's true. I also know, and have seen the pics. The cheese appears to have a thick crust of mold on the outside, but is very probably still good on the inside. The cutting torch may come in handy in more than one place.
The cheese was originally made in a lab deep underground the wisconsin countryside. It was moved via giant refrigerated air transport to this secret base in the middle of nowhere. No one saw, no one would be suspicious, it was the perfect plan. The only thing they didn't count on was the beautiful weather of miami.

| | | | Sorry guys, had to remove the moon-landing debate, we gotta keep this at least halfway reasonable. Debate about what's behind the door is alright, cause that can affect the ethics of opening it, but the moon shit is just way out there and has nothing to do with this thread.

Send me a link in a PM to what you think you found, and if you are correct, you will be rewarded.

| | | | Wow, what an interesting thread I have started....
Anyway, I gotta go exchange my 4 tanks for 4 full ones, and then it's just a matter of Shane deciding on who gets to go along ... I plan on leaving early in the morning so that we can spend a full day out there, and since I don't have a digicam, I will bring my nice 35mm camera with a shitload of film which I can develop and then scan ...
But yeah, lets try to keep this somewhat on topic about what is behind the door - in short - if someone were to guess it, I know that neither Shane nor I would say "yeah, you're correct" ... but a big piece of cheese? C'mon, yer just wasting bandwidth ...
So, I have about 2 tanks half full to empty out (one oxy and one acetylene) so I think I will finish making my mailbox fucking indestructable (we have some shit kids around here that like to drive down our road with baseball bats.. wotn they get a surprise when in the middle ofthe night they smakc thheir bat into a solid steal pipe painted to match the mailbox and burried 3 feet in the ground (this is the 3rd time in 2 months I have had to repair the mailbox, this last time I welded it onto the metal post) ...
//p
And AGAIN, PLEASE, PLEASE, RESPECT THE WISHES OF SHANE AND MYSELF AND DO NOT SEND ME PRIVATE MESSAGES ASKING FOR WHAT THIS IS, OR FOR PICTURES OF IT, BECAUSE I AM NOW TO THE POINT OF SIMPLY DELETING THESE MESSAGES WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A REPLY (and yes, the CAPS meant I was shouting!)

| | | | Give PhreeX a break, I was the one who found it and I hadn't mentioned it publically until this thread. I asked him to help me get in because of his experience and knowledge, he wanted some feedback on the ethics of the situation. It's a complex situation, and I felt that I had to share a bit more info about the place so that people would understand why we are even considering using a torch to get into this place. If anyone should be pestered, it should be me, as I'm the one who decides who gets the details about this place. So yeah, leave him alone, he's not gonna tell you.

| | | | aplz - if you knew what some of us knew about the place, you wouldn't say that =P Trust me.
I mean, think of the absolute coolest thing you can think of to find. Now, take a couple steps down from that. This is that thing. About the only things that beat this thing would be something in the vein of an old Presidential fallout bunker - looking something like Crystal Peak from T3, a cache of randomly cool things such as weapons grade plutonium or a complete collection of PEZ dispensers, or the stairway to Atlantis's back door in Antarctica.

| | | | My thoughts are this:
If the building is abandoned, and it is obvious that it will not be sold, leased, or renovated (i call this S.L.R'd, maybe i can put this in the encyclopedia), and the building will be left for ether demolition or for the much slower process of nature reclaiming it, then it is O.K. to to force your way in -as long as it gets resealed after so that young childeren or dumb people cant get in and hurt themselves and as a result and give UE'rs a bad name.
In this case, from the information in this thread, I see this as a perfect exampe where it is moraly OK (in my opinion) to force your way in.
ps. make sure to bring more then one camera! i dont want to be reading this thread again in a few weeks and read -"the trip was great! however we have no photos because the only camera we brought had dead batteries!".

| | | | You wouldn't necessarily need to bring multiple cameras (though I do advise on MANY panorama shots, long exposures, lighting tricks, tripod shots, etc...), just lots and lots and LOTS of batteries - especially if this is going to be an all-day affair.

Dark, I'm not about to dispute what you said just now, but will again reiterate to these guys that there are situations where the door is in the middle of nowhere and welded shut for a reason: what's inside could be dangerous!
Now I can't get the Ark of the covenant thing out of my head; Shane looks into the freshly cut door (smoke wafting out for effect), then his eyeballs fall out and he turns to sand!
Phreeezk; if you need that much oxyacetylene, we would be talking about some seriously thick steel. Is it the Death star or something? More power to you but know what you're getting into. This is one of those occasions where you should probably tell your significant other or some trusted individual "I will be in _______ and if I am not back by 2am the next morning call the authorities.
There's a place I love up here where I often wonder what would happen if I broke a leg or fell into a bad floor. I'd be screwed, noone would no I'm there, and noone will ever look there.. permanent resident. So whenever I go alone, I tell my cohort Bizzy or even call my Mother and tell them exactly what my plans are.

| | | | Dukes, they have already said that there Are holes in the door, and that they even already know what's behind it. It's not it's a mystery door or anything. They know what's there, and I trust them to know whether it's safe or not before they break out the torches. I also trust that PhreeX knows what he's doing, since he has already stated that he is licensed for the use of this kinda torch for the intended purpose. In all likelyhood, nothing will go wrong, and if it does they will have medical equipment on hand, and first aid can be done. So go for it already!!

| | | | Flock, I can't read every post. I too would do this, but since the "public opinion " has been involved, I thought i'd thrown in my opoinion.
1)forgotten site, middle of nowhere
2)noone knows you're there
Get hurt or something unexpected happens and EMT or not and you're in a bad way.
Like I said I would do it, but I',m familiar with remote locations and if noone knows your destination then you are totally fucacda if you get hurt.
