VALHALLA MISSILE SILO
We all made our ways separately to the Silo site near Abilene with most
people arriving on Saturday but some not until Sunday. Our first experience was
a tour of the facility and a briefing on the history. Then we began the task of
moving our gear into the staging area and getting suited up. Since the silo is
at close to 2,500 feet of altitude, it was a little more difficult for the low-landers
in the crowd! It certainly was an experience diving in a container that
previously housed such a massive tool of destruction.
