Bad thing about a beard is that there is a waiting time after a shower before I can go to the chow hall, because literally the beard freezes inside 100 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, about 1\/2 done with my trip here.  This place is awesome.  Yesterday I went up to one of the Nike missile sites.  (D Launch)  We found an open shaft, climbed down the ladder and got into the boiler room.  From there we did some spelunking in the dark until we made it out into the missile silo area.  What happens though is that when the ice and snow up top melts, it drops down during the summer.  That pools on the bottom, and then freezes again.  So we are in the command are, and you can see chairs and crappers and such frozen underneath the ice by about 3 feet.  Ice is really clear for some reason.  Looking up you could see where the doors would open up to get the Nike missiles out to shoot.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a 60&#8217;s kid, so I have no knowledge other than the history channel on the &#8220;hide under your desk&#8221; thing.  But it was easy to see how important this place was back in the day. It&#8217;s almost exactly equidistant between Moscow and DC.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the internet blows up here, and posting this probably cost me the rest of my day&#8217;s bandwidth, but wanted to check in from the Arctic.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy ballz is it cold up here. -37 wind chill this morning.
