    Well that sucks! That sure sounds like it would've been a nice place to shoot, even if it's illegal! Your second shot is great, nice shot!

    Welcome to the boards,

    walk in there with the camera, and a big sticker on your jacket labelled "Photo Pass"

    Then when confronted said: "Whata' gonna do? Shoot me?"

    *blam, blam*

    You leave, in a bag.

    But that one landscape shot...very nice.

    Actually I was there training some surveyors survey accuracy GPS. I saw the silo's. There are only three "live" missiles in silos now but there are 12 holes being prepared. Each one is 17 feet in diameter and 70' deep. There are plans for up to 100. Boeing is there Bectel is there and many other contractors. Its a huge big money project with and amazing utility infrastructure to support it.

    I did sneak a few photo's but I'm affraid to share them.

    Ah, better safe then sorry. I wouldn't start putting stuff up like that either. All it takes is one click, somebody finds it, and then somebody's in trouble. Though it sounds interesting, I think my imagination can make the picture;)
