Once home to a 4 megaton warhead, Subterra Castle is now home to seminars, workshops, meetings, spiritual gatherings and weddings. In its stone circle, celebrations of life are now conducted in the shadow of now impotent tools of death. The final photo is testimony to the affirmation of life - and decided lack of impotence - that is now the mission and soul of Subterra.

20,000 square feet is the approximate total underground area of the facility. No, they do not grow fungus or anything else besides vegetables and your normal household flora. I didn't really read the book on the console, but it has pics of what daily life was like for the men who worked and lived in the facility, and there are also some samples of declassified technical manuals and such around.

It gives me a big smile to see what was once a warehouse of nuclear destruction has been turned into a hippy community. Sweet. I'd love to visit someday. It looks really cool.

Minor point re post #12: that's not an Omega. It's a Phi.

Thanks for the tour and the commentary Spode.
Very positive message.

Yes, thanks Ep. Good photos and informative comments.

Very interesting place. Looks like a good place for a big party. :D

That is great! Thanks for sharing.

VERY Cool! Great pics. Thanks for the tour.

Damn. And the Omega symbology would have been so cool. Now I have to figure out why the Phi symbology is there.

That is just way too cool Elspode. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful. What a fantastic place!

Wikipedia says phi can connote electric potential, or volts...perhaps that's what it refers to? If you find anything out, please post because I'm very curious.

Very cool thread! Thanks, Els.

I love that last picture. It makes me smile and laugh every time I look at it.

Looks like you had a great trip, Elspode!

I wanted to write something like "Whose rocks was she getting off?" but decided that that would be rude.

I was curious if they actually used the two man console with keys that have to be turned simultaneously or if that was just a movie device.

If it is real, did they get the launch keys when they bought the silo?
