Ammunition Bunkers at the Green River Arsenal.

I thought there were only a few of these left, and they were in this field, However, after looking at google maps, I counted over 60 of these bunkers still in existence in three large locations. I wonder if the feds were too cheap to spend the money to knock them down, or they're keeping them around in case they need them again (heaven forbid). Even some of the manufacturing buildings are still standing.

As we were walking around here, my friend decided he wanted to see if the door worked. To my amazement, he was able to open it. I advised him that if he went in, there was absolutely no way I'd go in to rescue him. No way. Nope nope nope.

Apparently he decided it was too dark to take pictures. Whew.

Although it might make a good murder shack.
