I discovered a missile silo in my backyard - seriously.

This morning I was reading the news about that hijacked ship which lead me to Wikipedia looking up Russian warships, then US warships, then missile silos in Arizona, which lead me to missile silos in California. Imagine my surprise when I saw my home town of Lincoln, California, on that list.

Beale AFB is not too far from here, and in the 1960s they had three Titan missile launch sites. Some quick research showed me that the launch site in my hometown was within walking distance of my house.

According to Google maps, this is what it looks like from the air....



So, I went!

Not much to see really.....









Now... If I can just figure a way in!
