A decommissioned 1960s military base originally built to support a Nike-Hercules missile battery in the area. It was later retrofitted for Patriot missile batteries but might never have seen any use. It was a popular spot for urban exploration in the 2010s but in the early 2020s the base was reactivated so the current status of the former barracks is unknown, but presumably not accessible.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
