Blue Hills Nike Missile site

I went to an abandoned Nike Missile site today. It was a quick and dirty expedition to see what out there. It appears to be semi-active since a truck drove through as I was finishing up.

This is the main launch pad that the missiles were prepped and launched from. The elevators have been covered with fill and are inaccessible.

These appear to be the motor pool or maintenance building.

This is a generator building next to the motor pool building. It looks like there were 3 generators here.

i grew up there and am sorry to hear that the silos are filled in. we used to climb down into the silos and off of the bottom of the silo there were huge steel doors that lead to a long hallway with offices off to the sides. we always took flashlights and double barrel purple mescaline. ah, to be a kid again. -nate
