See PennyPue doesn't need to dive in nuclear waste, she already has a GLOWING PERSONALITY :death2:
Wow In Wisconsin we had the old Nike sites,now long gone,but they were small silos built in the 60's the Kenedy years,the sites were given back to the towns they were in,The missile's were moved out at night,they filled with water after years,and a tar like muck,man I would no stick a toe in them,Builders dumped some junk into them,and built houses around them. cool to have a open one in your back yard!

Maintenance my dear man, maintenance.Lil' Irish Temper:
Pue needs a good dose of rads to maintain her good humor.
Besides, I'll dive in anything warm/cold, salt/fresh, shallow/deep, current/no current, clear/murky, radioactive/nonradioactive so long as it's wet.

lost, even with a compass
pennypue:That's what I'm thinkin'!!!!
Are you guys serious?? I could see the conversation between my girlfriend and myself now.
Me: I will be back in a couple of days. I am going diving!
GF: Oh, going to Blue Springs AGAIN?
Me: Not this time. I am headed to Texas to dive an old missle silo. :11:
Been there done that! The one in Abilene, TX is called Valhalla. Dive-aholic is correct about the T-shirt. An interesting dive - I learned a lot there!!! Water temp is 54 degrees year round - 85 steps down and back up with all your gear. An interesting place for specialities, I did altitude & deep there. There is about 110 ft of ground water now in the silo. familyscuba.com is the shop that owns the Silo.
No amenities on site, but Abilene has plenty of motels.
