haha! we need to go find some shit like this around here!!! SHOW UP TO A GTG and you can have them! ass. :lol1:
Found an abandoned missile silo..
- Thread starter MAXX RS4
- Start date
A little while ago, I logged on to see any of the latest and greatest 03/04 Cobra race videos only to find this thread. I haven't been anywhere else since save for a few phone calls.
That's definitely a cool find! If that site was shut down in 1960 and received several different layers of concrete in areas with radiation, I don't think you'll get enough radiation exposure to have any problems. Then again, I'm no expert on this stuff. Either way, you never can be too careful around places like those. ;-)

we have got a site no more than 3 miles from our house. I'd say less than a mile to closer local residents. I've been itching to see whats down there in the valley. When you drive by it all you see is an old guard post and fence with a road that leads down to the valley. I'm in the army and getting deployed apr 19 so maybe one night I will put on my mopp (army chemical gear) and take a basic look around. If I did find somthing like an enterance I would not go it alone so don't worry, esp at night. Will take a picture of the guard post by the road so you can see what Im talking about.

Dude, you are the man..
You guys are missing something big here.....look at this picture again
see it yet? If I read right the place was left sometime in the 1960's ? lets say 1966 just for shits, thats 40 years correct? See it now? This place is in NJ. in a forest or woods type area ? WHY is it the entire area that is fenced in, aka "the base" has no growth? you see the area surrounding "the base" covered with trees, shrubs and other green growth. Anyone still think ANY part of that facility is safe?

It's covered in concrete, I'm sure there is some small shrub growth but nothing big enough to be picked up by that satellite, that satellite can barely pick up cars.

If you want to learn a little about Plutonium Poisoning here is a story from the 1970's. Anyone remember Karen Silkwood?

I remember that movie, they made it seem much more sinister than the article, which was just facts.
I go to alot of abandoned places,but I'd stay far away from that site... I don't want three dicks.
Some of you were talking as if the air base (Lakehurst, Maguire, or Fort Dix) were closed up as well. THEY ARE COMPLETELY ACTIVE. Lots of my friends and coworkers serve there right now. Hope you don't get caught in there

What you are talking about is the Mk 40 rocket motor it is used on many small missiles like the Hydra and predator missile. The company I work for makes them. They are way to small to use that Bomb Dolly
That bomb Dolly in the picture is also way to small for a Nuclear warhead missile.
What the Mk 40 described on the mobile bomb racks or dolly is a Mk 40 Iron bomb commonly called a dumb bomb now. Those bombs were made in the late 40's all the way to the vietnam war. That is a old weapons armory and bunker. The country is dotted with those. I am not totally suprised they left the bomb dolly's there. I have seen case after case where the military closes a site leaves stuff behind. But usually they dig a big ass pit and bury stuff. Where I work now use to be a Airforce Base and they will go to build something out here and find burried pick up trucks and whole tool boxes with tools in them. As far as radiation goes they might have at one time stored nuclear warheads there and there could be trace elements but the best thing to do is either get a rad badge or take a geiger counter with you.

That article still makes me want to go check this site out, but imma stand on the outside of the fence..
I've actually been inside the Lakehurst Naval Base that is pictured to the right of the site.
The large runway is inactive, the base uses the smaller one to the right. The 4 smaller strips above the large inactive runway is the testing facility for Air Carrier Arresting Systems. They push a preweighted sled (2 tons I think) down a track with 4 Jet engines and use the hook on the sled to catch the cable. Sometimes it misses and the sled goes a few hundred yards into the woods.

the one thing that really sucks is that inactive runway is an awesome straight, THe temptation to open up down the strip is killer, But the Freakin' MP's always sit on there, The stupid speed limit is 30 MPH :mj:
I've been in a few military sites, The coolest is where they stored Nuclear warheads (of course it was inactive bunkers) but none the less it was pretty cool. You need military clearance to get out there, the next time I go out I'll take the Mach & get some Pics.

Well I just spent a decent chunk of my morning reading this and I'm glad I did. My buddy lives in NJ and I'd love to hit this place up. Gives new meaning to the phrase "dirty Jersey". j/k. I'd have to say you have very large grapefruits to be wandering around in there. Not only in case some random security patrol is in there, (like they patrol every other first Tuesday or some crap) but even the slightest possibility of contact with radioactive material would make me think twice. we have the Seneca Army Depot here in Western NY and they used to stockpile weapons and nuclear materials from the Manhatten Project there. It has been shutdown since then and much of the base is in use by the town or village offices and such. I've driven in there and seen the "igloos" where they used to store the stuff. It's cool just to be in there knowing what they used to do there. They even have this deer there that is completely white and I am not talking albino or piebald. These are only found at that deopt. They were supposedly fenced in when they originally set up the depot and the gene to cause that all white coat was able to come out due to breeding. I think they ate some grass around the igloos myself...

Do you know why New Jersey has the most hazardous waste sites and California has the most lawyers
Cause Jersey got first choice. ;-)
