@[email protected] once as a teenager, I went camping at Rickett's Glenn state park, near Benton Air Force Communications Annex, part of the nuclear detection and reporting system.
Curious, my friend & I hiked through the woods to photograph the cool dome. Then we heard a voice from inside the fence: "should I arrest you... or give you lunch?"
The lone staffer in the facility invited us up and showed us how all the systems worked, along with decommissioned cold war equipment.
