I was working on an old building in Denver back in the late '70s when I was told that Denver's dump was at the Lowry Bombing Range. I thought it best to avoid taking anything there. Last November (2012) I had the opportunity to visit and walkabout that area on a guided tour by a gentleman who knew the history of that land, from before it became a missile site.

| This is part of the cover over the missile which slid away before the missile was launched from the silo. It is about 3 feet thick. |
 |
| My guide said that this missile program was never operational but was built to fool the Soviet Union. |
 |
| Looks like someone has been trying to get into the silo. |

| This is an exhaust vent near the missile silo. |

| This is what is currently in the vent. |
