bedsitter23One thing that we had on our list of things to do, but did not was the Minutemen Missile Silo.
For those who remember such things, this was a silo used during the Cold War, now revealed and turned into a historic site, located just near Wall, South Dakota. There's the launch center and the silo site. The missile removed in 1991 and the tower deactivated in 1994.
Unfortunately, we did not go.
We had been warned that you need to go early as the tickets sell out quickly. That was true. We did not get there early, though even if we did, it's doubtful we would have wanted to wait all day for an available tour.
That said, I think as time goes on, maybe it won't always be like that. Still, an interesting bit of history. There was a bit of a museum here, though it appears still very new and needs to grow.
I suspect I will be back this way again, and if so, would like to stop and see it.
