So yeah..... we bought an LGM-25C Titan 2 missile silo. The site was on alert from 23 November 1963 - 20 June 1985. After decommissioning the Air Force and Army Corps of Engineers exploded the top of the Access Portal and Launch Silo in 1987. The Access Portal and Launch Control Center were opened again around 2012 but were reflooded and abandoned after a pump failure. Beginning in May 2019 we have begun the task of renovating the complex and bringing new life into it. Wont you join us in the Atomic Underground?

[@aaron71]

So, so glad these sites are being saved. Massive pieces of history, no pun intended!!

[@robertgros9236]

Very impressive Doug. Hats off to you. I believe your site is the old 570-06. I was there in the early 1980's and found the long cableway sitting next to the access road just north of Tangerine. I helped myself to several danger high voltage signs. Came back many years later and found it was a nursery. I called that site home for almost four years both as a DMCCC and a MCCC.I was one of the few commanders who had the excitement of taking a Titan 2 off alert. Believe me that was a very big deal its day being that targets had to be covered. Make a long story short the cooling fan on PS-1 disintegrated after spinning for about 11 years at 2AM of course. MFT performed a shut down and switched over to BPS-1 which I was assured would last 8 hours until MIMS arrived. It failed after 2 hours and 40 minutes, adios power to the MAGCG. Got to wake up Col Scott 390th WC and he got to wake up some folks in Omaha. Fun times at 06.I left the service being greedy I wanted to make more money than the AF was willing to pay. Never got too far away been living up the road in Scottsdale 45 years now. Good luck to you on your endeavor.

I became addicted to the Titan II missile sites after visiting the Museum in 2017. You have the nicest site by far, being so dry and cleaned out.

[@ThePandoraGuy]

My thought exactly.

[@3DGuy0813]

Concerning graffiti, if you ever make your way out to the silo equipment area, then make a point of checking the backside of the 100K gallon water tank on level six. You have to climb over the railing and inch your way to the backside on the conduit. This is the location where crew artists would paint or draw murals. When I was on crew, we made a point of checking this location during DSV (Daily Shift Verification) anytime we were an “away” crew meaning we were assigned an alert tour at a complex that was not our home site. Some of the tanks sported some amazing drawings.

Your almost ready for the corona virus apocalypse. Great job on the 1st floor, but I don't think I could handle the acoustics in the first room. Sound deadening would be a must for me. Looking great!

[@BorisFett]

Great tour. I love the plan for this entrance being in the garage.

[@meadmaker4525]

That's an interesting texture (if texture is the right word for it) on the ceiling of that finished dome. Almost looks quilted, but there's still a lot of echo, so I'm assuming it's not sound-deadening material. Don't think I've seen one like that before. Thanks for the tour!!

[@ArizonaTitan]

The inside of what would become the dome was formed with flat boards about a foot wide. When the concreted was poured, and the interior frame removed, it created that pattern. I don't think they cared about making the inside a perfectly smooth dome, most of it was was concealed by the walls and a flat ceiling hiding the A/C ducting and piping. I have some old black and white photos of the construction. I don't think it's enough to affect the acoustics - it sounds really amazing when you stand in the exact center and talk.

[@meadmaker4525]

@@ArizonaTitan - That's really interesting. Had no idea that's how they formed the dome. Makes sense now. And congrats on your Titan 2 silo. It looks great! There's a pretty large following on KZbin for those working on silos like this, so I hope you're able to document a lot of it as you go. I know it's time consuming, though.

Then 2003 2004 I would go see Tim W you know . I remember when he bought that place, was there when he put up the Quanza hut , I remember when I went over there and the excavator had no more reach to pull concrete out of that entry way you patched up . Tim and his little brother Sean tried to get in at the time . I moved down to oracle and river still there now , I watched Acacia nursery grow for years helped my buddy work on them Big spade trucks, I owned land at camino de manana and tangerine , lived of Oasis for 30 years , where the Hilton is Dove mountain my whole childhood was in that canyon . that little Mountain just north of your property I have sat 100 of hours up there .

[@tl1024]

Yep, az spots are nice, no flood waters when you open the door. The money they go for now is insane. Now I'll never have one, they used to sell for $20k or far less. No one really wanted them. Original sales were preferred to low bidders (because of their history, they "looked bad"). In Az, they were almost all surrounded by "state trust land". A freaking gold mine today to get a piece of land like that... until they sell it off to developers. Az state trust land is not like "forest land", it can be "traded"... my hometown area is getting "traded" into a mini-metropolis in front of my eyes. In a few years, I will not be welcome. I live in a rural area that has "fantastic mountain views", it wont be "rural" much longer, picked up by the places to be sold for $300,000 per 1/8 acre. Talk all the crap you want, I have an awesome mountain view, for now. I'll get "booted out" soon enough to make way for the "big money spots". I lived here my whole life & all that means now is "cool story, get fucked, we are coming in now".

IF I ever came under the good fortune to get one of these beasts in fairly good condition, the last things I would do are to add a bunch of home made control panels with random blinking lights, but also normal controls and indication for HVAC operation, normal lighting, emergency (red) lighting, caution (yellow) lighting, night time (green) lighting, remote antenna lift booms for ham/CB radios, rotators for satellite/internet alignment, and back up power generation/active line monitoring and controls. Sure it would be tedious and would require a lot of time, coax cables, ethernet cables, power lines, and circuit wiring, but it would be fun all the same!

That is exactly what I told these Arkansas folks that they need to do. Scrap all of that old metal to pay for rebuilding everything using lumber and drywall. Put a circular staircase in the middle of the floor and you will have a good start with rooms around the perimeter. I love the dome ceiling. Split level 1 using open walls to expose that dome ceiling... plenty of room for a small day use 1/2 bathroom, small kitchen, and living/dining area. You can go for a larger formal kitchen/dining on L2, and a home theater on L3 with bedrooms below that. After level 1 put the semi-circle staircases staggered around the perimeter right against the wall.

Scrapping the old metal actually costs us. It does not pay for anything but I am doing it anyway

What do you do about the lead paint? You are doing some amazing work there...

[@ArizonaTitan]

The yellow color was the only paint that tested positive for having a lead base. The green and others were negative. Basically take all the proper precautions - don't eat it, wear a mask when scraping (no sandblasting) and paint over it with several coats. Exactly how the government recommends you handle old paint in your home.

[@CatCube2]

@@ArizonaTitan That orange paint (particularly in your "tool room" at the entrance right inside what you called "blast door 6") looks like the red lead in linseed oil (TT-P-86) that the Corps of Engineers liked to specify for the primer in their industrial coating systems until the late '70s/early '80s. Sometimes colors don't come through well on camera, so if you really had it tested and it's clear, OK, but it sure does a great impression of the lead paint I see at work all the time. It's great as a paint and lasts forever, but you definitely don't want to eat the flat candy, and want to avoid abrasive blasting without being prepared to handle it. It's surprising to that the yellow paint was lead based; typically the yellow stuff was a chromium pigment. (Also really toxic, but less famous than lead which got used in houses--though that was typically white lead used for color, not the red lead used for industrial paints due to the excellent corrosion resistance.)

Little bit of both. They excavated to the level of the bottom of the cableways. They called it "the bathtub" but it was about the size and shape of a small stadium. Command center was dug out another 10 feet or so for the base, but the silo still had to go down more than another 100 feet.

@@atomicunderground9971 Okay, makes sense, I guess I was thinking about the Minuteman sites, I do know that at one time they where reopening the 510 M-01 outside Holden, Missouri a few years back.

@@ArizonaTitan Thanks, I (made) a map on Google Earth with all of the Missile Silos in the US, makes it easy to find them when I see them here. Looking at Google Earth in the "past" what used to be top side?

@@ArizonaTitan I am located just under 2 hours from you south of Tucson and would enjoy coming out to help renovate. I pilot an INEX Legend at Tucson Speedway if you ever have time to make it out.

Do you have access to the silo as well?

[@ArizonaTitan]

I have not tried yet. Would be fun for the sake of "exploring" but it's under the nursery and would be very disruptive to the business - unless I could figure out a way to make it worth the time and money.

How does that guys cell phone ring underground inside that metal container?

[@tmastersat]

Likely a repeater.

[@ArizonaTitan]

I installed fiber optics when I ran commercial power. Got it all down there - cell phone, cable, high-speed Internet. Just about everything runs over fiber these days.
