Twysted trukker- i also live nearby where exactly did u see the army vehicles??

[altairjump]

Do you have the full film?

[twystedtrukker]

@geordi-I have no idea what direction we travelled once inside the tunnel. The entrance was on the 53 side-we came to a low wall on a hillside with a steel door that had been ripped off the hinges(not by us). My GPS would not pick up a signal, so I really had no concept of direction.

Is there a link where we can see the whole film?

[GeordiVsRiker]

@twistedtrukker: Were the jeeps in bunkers on the south side or at the reactor site on the north side? The reactor site's entrance is a concrete cube-like structure about 20 feet high and has a huge amount of dirt pushed up against it to where you can walk on the roof.

I took a Geiger counter out there and did find about 5x background at a spot near the separation wall by the reactor. Everything else was about at background.

I live less than 5 minutes from the facility and have explored it numerous times. There are extensive underground tunnels and buildings, at least one in excess of five stories underground. There is in fact, one underground building onsite that still contains three military(?!) vehicles that I witnessed firsthand. Every time I'm there I get the unshakeable feeling that I'm not alone. Very freaky...

I have grown up less than 2 miles away from this place, never got the chance to go there though. My whole family has lived in very close proximity of the site. My Great Grandmother and her children have lived even closer to it than I have their whole lives, on the road that they hauled equipment, and I'm sure irradiated materials. Her and her son who lives with her are now cancer patients of many different organs. Personally I think that there is a connection.

@bandit82894 Let me correct that we do not live as close as I said before, I checked google maps, it's about 5 miles away. There is a lot more driving to do on that road than I expected. None the less the rest of the statements are complete fact.

My dad moved us to a trailer in Dawsonville in 1957, just a few miles from the site. He was the assistant Superintendent of construction for Southeastern Construction Co, the prime contractor on the job. He always told me that he was constructing a jet engine test and research facility. He NEVER said anything about it being nuclear.

That might explain why he was issued a geiger counter. He told me it was so we could prospect for uranium in the North GA mountains. He died of prostate cancer.
