Preparations

Some of you may recall the telling of my adventures in an underground bunker earlier this summer. The secret bunker was discovered in the backyard by the new owners of the property. The new owners invited me to go down into the extensive tunnel system so I could take pictures of what was down there in exchange for copies of the photos I was able to capture. It was pitch black in the bunker so we had to use head lamps in order to see our way around. Thankfully, my D750 is quite good at getting pictures in extremely low-light situations! The man that built this tunnel system was preparing for an apocalypse,of sorts. Besides all these various containers that are filled with all manner of seeds and beans, the owners also recovered a large cache of guns that were kept in grease, presumably to prevent them from rusting. They also recovered large amounts of gold, silver, kerosene, grains, personal hygiene items, a water filtration system, and a rather ingenious air filtration system that treated the whole bunker. There is some talk that the man that owned the place, originally, had worked for NASA as an engineer. There is also speculation that he aided and abetted a white supremacist for a period of time. The story is bolstered by the trap door that's still located in the bathroom of the main house. There is also a small button located on the wall which is actually a buzzer. The theory is that when anyone approached the main house the original owner would press the buzzer which alerted the man that was hiding out to the danger. Once aware of the danger he would then use the trap door in the bathroom floor to access the bunker's tunnel system; from there he would use the tunnels to make his way to a remote cabin located further back on the property. The new owners are working to verify the truth of this mysterious discovery made on their property. I'll try to keep everyone updated on anything new that develops with this story.
