  This is a short tower directly across the road from the big tower. If these guys opened up on you with .50 cal. you were toast.

  It must be pretty sad to live in a country that has this amount of fear/opression built in to it existance.

  Mutt: This is at the entrance to the city where the A-Bomb was built; with that having been constructed, wouldn't you be a bit paranoid? These were built sometime after the war but I'm not sure how long they were used for.

  actually, those were to keep people from entering the Oak Ridge Reservation(plant sites), which was adjacent to the city of Oak Ridge. They were built in the mid 1940's. There was a set at each entrance to the reservation, these being on the east side on highway 58.

  I think they just "built" , concentrated uranium isotopes here the bomb was built in New Mexico wasn't it?

Anyway my pucker factor always increases in place with gun ports. Even decades later.

Nice find.
