Caption: Inside the Launch Facility
Additional Description: When active, this portion of the site housed the missile fueling and warheading area which was surrounded by high berms. The launchers (12 in all) were located in the area now occupied by the tennis courts and the grassy area SE of the tennis courts (i.e. to the immediate right of the wooded area shown in photo #5). The magazines are indeed still present, but are buried under several feet of fill. A small part of the top of one of the underground missile magazines is exposed on the edge of the ramp immediately SW of the tennis courts.
