Still
the work continues! Perhaps slower than ever but still it
moves along. 2011 was a busy year, full of work and a bit of
adventure once again and saw a return to the watery world of Royal
City 568-C and a visit to 568-A and its relatively-dry silos and
exposed cribwork that laid bare fascinating details of their
structure that have been hidden away for so long.
Walter
and I once again returned to Washington and joined forces with 3
lads from Great Britain who had come to the U.S. on a
"nuclear tour" of former Cold War missile sites.
The nuclear tourists were kind enough to help us gain access and
make arrangements so we could ride along on the final leg of their
whirlwind tour of old missile sites. Our deep gratitude goes
out to them for the awesome sights we saw, made possible by their
gracious assistance. Thanks guys!
I've
received many letters from all over thanking me for my work on the
site-- some from folks who worked on the sites themselves, or
closely with the construction and other aspects of the operational
sites-- a great treat indeed. I am slow to respond to emails
most times, but I am always happy to hear from people who share an
interest, history or enjoy the site.
Keep
checking back, there is going to be lots more material in the
future as I keep plugging away. I hope I can update more
often if I don't get too busy or distracted (curse you Minecraft!).
Please
enjoy Part VII of the Adventures of
Groundskeeper Pete. More of that adventure will be
forthcoming along with more Titan I
Topside.
