The absolute best website on Titan 1 is https://www.chromehooves.net/missile_silos2.htm most of the images on this site are 724-C. Another Titan 1 which is still in pretty good condition is Larson 568-A. This one although it has been for sale for a long time i think the Hotchkiss family still owns it. The daughter has an excellent 4 part video on you tube and has some history info on Titan 1 as well, this base still has some of the crib work in one of the silos https://youtu.be/HeJjxu2p8BA. Here are some great pictures of 568-A https://www.airforcebase.net/trips/titan/titan.html scroll down to(Larson Air Force Missile Site #1 (568-A) WA) Finding this website was a surprise because i was totally obsessed with titan 1 and 2s for years and thought i had seen everything out on the net. Thanks for posting your adventure there are many videos and pictures of Deer Trail but yours are exceptionally good photos with good lighting thanks for sharing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143719968445092712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-31466745001884362292020-07-23T12:47:39.163-07:002020-07-23T12:47:39.163-07:00Explored this Aug 2019 and it was still accessible...Explored this Aug 2019 and it was still accessible.

I had a hefty wetsuit, and it was actually comfortable considering it was below freezing and snowing outside!<br /><br />The long tunnels to the silos were chest deep in water and half of the floor panels had been salvaged, so it was interesting stumbling around and stepping in holes without seeing your feet. To get into one of the silos we had to squeeze through a hole into an elevator shaft underwater, which was a tight fit and just about required somebody pulling and pushing you. There wasn't a whole lot to see after salvage, but it was eerie to swim through an industrial complex and see all of the warning signs and eyewash stations a hundred feet under water.<br /><br />I would love to find some more to explore!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394395800292983620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-60335572780677750442019-01-12T12:05:52.743-08:002019-01-12T12:05:52.743-08:00That must have been amazing!

I went on December 30th with 7 guys this time instead of 4. There are a few areas you can enter the silo from but the safest is the spot where you walk down into an excavated area and don't have to do any climbing. As I said before the entrance is nearly barred off but people have come and dug underneath the bars. One of my friends is a football player and is 6'1" and 220 lbs and he nearly got stuck on the way in and on the way out. The gap between the bars and the dirt ground is only about 10 inches and the hardest part of getting through is your legs because if you go face up underneath, your legs end up being straight as they go through which places lots of stress on your knees if you're a bigger person. Just like last time, I parked about 3/4 of a mile away from the entrance to avoid being seen by the property owner. This time however, I parked to the east of the silo instead of the west and walked in on a dirt road which was much easier than walking through a field like I did last time. I wouldn't be surprised if the entrance was more blocked off in the future, but for now it is still possible to get in. If you would like specifics on good places to park and how to get from good parking areas to the silo, please email me at missilesilostoose@gmail.com. I have heard from a few different people that there is a really cool homeowner nearby with a huge American flag. I was told that if you park in front of his house and then knock on the door he will show you maps of the silo, give you a place to park, show you how to get in, and might even give you some extra masks and flashlights. Not sure if this is true because I haven't tried and not sure which house it is, a there are 4 or 5 pretty close to the location of the silo. We successfully explored around half of the silo in 90 and made it out with no tickets. I did, however, get a speeding ticket on the way back on I-70. Like I said before, if you park far enough away from the silo to not be seen and if you're quiet on the walk in, there is little risk of being caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-87156558801598931352018-12-26T12:07:31.845-08:002018-12-26T12:07:31.845-08:00I went SCUBA diving in one of these a few years ba...I went SCUBA diving in one of these a few years back, in Royal City, WA. The power house and control center were above water, but we made entry through an escape hatch in the middle of the complex and dove silos 2 and 3. What a neat experience. I'm always looking for adventures, and live in the four corners area. Hopefully I can find another of these somewhere close.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394395800292983620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-54621561997093483102018-11-29T13:44:11.214-08:002018-11-29T13:44:11.214-08:00Do you know if it is still possible to get under? ...Do you know if it is still possible to get under?

The owner had barred off the entire entrance but someone had come with a shovel and dug underneath all the grates. I'm 6'0" and 185lb and it wasn't too tight but I had to do some wriggling. There is rumored to be asbestos inside and to be safe I wore a P100 rated mask. Spent about an hour exploring only the power house and surrounding tunnels but had to leave when we encountered a group of 15 highschoolers. When you're driving up to the silo you need to go by houses and they obviously know what you're doing if they see you. When I went I parked on the side of the nearest road away from the houses an walked a mile through the fields to reach the entrance. If you do this quietly during nighttime and don't use flashlights you have little risk of being caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-24162834933793371182018-06-07T00:13:37.111-07:002018-06-07T00:13:37.111-07:00I wonder if its for sale.

I noticed what appeared to be an old asphalt road and some concrete areas. I was thinking it was really weird then my girlfriend looked up the area where we were and sure enough we were on top of an old missile. Now being me I couldn't leave it at that so I did some walking around and found an entrance. I called it's day and came back the following weekend and went inside. Didn't go very far to find it was blocked by sand and dirt. But now really interested in seeing more.
