Visiting Minuteman Missile Silos

Day three drive us through the hilly part of Nebraska into South Dakota on some two lane roads. Destination: Minuteman Missile Silos. Only when I asked Great Pa a couple of months ago about them did he tell me he was a missileer! He used to go down in the bunker for 24 hour shifts to wait in case he had to push the button to launch the missiles during the Cold War. It was so neat to show the kids this part of their family history and Learn about our country's past. (Future? We still have some missiles!). And get our second junior ranger badge, of course. Thanks @harold.baggett1929 for your service.
