Valhalla in January....

I don't have to dive with you, do I??

Nope
But you would have to come and pick me up!

I think I can handle that.

Well, since you'll be in town....

lol

 

[Texas Torpedo]

We could probably squeeze one more in..

Who's planning to actually sleep in the silo? I have a truck tent (utilizes the bed) I have been using but camping out in an old nuclear missile silo would make for a great story.. I could probably bring a generator as well for power & heat down there if it is allowed and wanted.

 

[James R]

Awesome. I'm down for silo sleeping - be a cool story for sure.

Just looked at the weather history for this area this time of year..
43 Degrees.. The water inside will feel warm..

I've read there is power in the silo (lighting). Does anyone know if there are 120v power outlets available inside?

No need for the generator or heat in the silo.
It is the same temp all year and the owner supplies power for lighting.
Porta potty inside on what looks like a wooden deck porch.
A cot and a sleeping bag would be a good idea.

Heat is always good if you do repetitive dives without a drysuit.. But I can suck it up if needed. I've actually got a few electronics devices that it would be nice to have power for if possible. Have you ever seen an outlet inside?

So, that's 10 in all, that would make it 50 bucks apiece to open the site, not to mention the driving, food, air, etc. Because i'm putting this together, i'd probably charge you guys an extra 7 or 8 bucks on the silo fee.

psiborg,

You're a Dive Master Right? If so, I don't mind paying you $7-$8 for hauling my doubles and tanks down to the water and back.. Heck, I'll even give you $10.
