So this hole exists...

This is allegedly in that place near that other place, across from that thing. In other words: they picked a good spot for it, because it is kind of in the middle of nowhere, at least that's the rumor. heh

Missile silos aren't that deep. Now if this hole were in a different place, say, Nevada, I'd be inclined to believe nuke testing.

It's nice to have somewhere for the exhaust to go when you light the candle!!

Yes it is and that's why they exhaust out the same hole they are kept in.

Cool....... so ummm where is this?





all in favor of sending Tacoma down with just a flare in his mouth reply with a "aye". Rope is a option.

Legend has it that a guy was welding next to the hole in the 90's and the methane blew up...killed him and severely injured 2 other guys nearby IN heavy equipment. Imagine a 30' wide concrete lined 1000' barreled cannon going off in your face...I for one would rather avoid anything that would light that candle!!

You guys need to try harder. While poking around online, I found a photo of it:

Get me some monitoring equipment and SCBA gear and I'm all about a 1500' rappel. Oh, hell YES I'd do that. what an awesome trip THAT would be. I'd love that. Lot of juggin' on the way out though.

Is the building still there too? Just trying to see how Tacoma was allowed to get so close to the hole, when in that pic, it looks pretty fenced off?
