Nuclear Fall-off

A steady stream of water trickles through the ceiling of the cableway leading to the launch silo. The tunnel was completely flooded about one hundred feet further down, so we couldn’t explore further. But we wouldn’t have gotten far anyway since the missile silo was completely destroyed in a 1960 accident at the site.

Thanks to Aaron and Jon for lighting the pitch dark tunnel using a maglight and a green gel’d flash.
