    That cave that you were in is incredible!!! I never knew that anything like that existed in Kansas City. For a minute I thought that it was an underground salt mine. If I lived there I would want to work in that cave. I would feel safe from tornadoes. That is good that the temp stays at 65 degrees.

    The Space Center underground storage In Kansas City has the US National Archives stored there, old movies and films are stored there with documents cause is mostly dry place low humidity naturally. You can find US National Archives towards the entrance. Crazy tornados and stormy weather that time of the year in the Midwest. Glad you keep the rubber on the road and got home safely.

    Before I retired, I'd been in and out of 3 or 4 caves in kc and one outside of kc. I was told that those caves were created and used by our military for the storage of munitions back around d the years of ww1 and ww2. I'd been told that by many sources so I assume it was true. You run around many of the same places I've been. And love yr Shepard! And yr vids.take care

    The geology in Kansas City just lended itself to this," said Mark Martin, property manager at Parkville Commercial Underground.
    During the Ice Age, continental glaciers advanced into northeast Kansas and northern Missouri, shaping the bluffs that contained two kinds of limestone: Bethany Falls and Argentine. Being a softer rock, thick limestone beds were heavily mined and provided vital sources of paving and building materials.
    And it was relatively inexpensive to dig into from the base of a bluff. Most mining in these parts was horizontal, not vertical, leaving behind vast openings that people and vehicles could enter without descending a deep shaft.

    Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 A good daddy ALWAYS tries to protect his kids, no matter how old you are!!!! 🥰 That’s Love, Dedication, Respect, Teamwork in the fiercest good sense! 🧐 They’re quick to be on their knees to pray for you, Quick to pick you up, Quick to cover your back & Quick to pick up arms in your defense! That’s A Fact, Kurt! 🧐 That’s how I feel about my family!!! 🥰 Be thankful for what you got & what you are. That underground trip was so radically cool! Be glad that you weren’t in a cabover.😳 I would love to do a delivery or pickup like that at least once! And it wasn’t crowded! Well, on the inside anyway. So the ac went out? Bummer! 😵‍💫 The backroad out of the underground was pretty cool & scenic. Love those backroads! 🥰 Glad you made it home & that it’s ok now! I’ve missed a couple of your videos since I’ve been getting new tires for my truck, getting it ready for a trip & attending school stuff. We’re getting there. Take care my friend! 🥰🤩✌️

    I have to say those back up alarms have a purpose. When I was still in high school I worked as a lumper at a produce warehouse (Pathmark Supermarket) One day our boss and foreman came running down the dock telling us all to get off the dock and go to the break room. One of the Pathmark checkers was outside standing by an open bay door by the dock plate and did not hear a trailer backing into that door. He was crushed and died a soon as the truck pulled forwards after the driver was told someone was pinned. It was horrible. My boss saw him die. 😥

    Yes the person was correct Kurt... The vast majority of what cameout of that old mine was rock for construction projects all around Kansas City... When the big construction boom of late 50's all the way to the mid 80's, A ton of mines was dugout for stone & others for salt... After the mines was used up.. They sat there abandoned... Companies bought them and retrofitted them in late 90's ish? to make them into cold storage bays .... Those old mines will always stay at a constant temperature inside regardless how hot or cold it gets outside....

  • @David_Richard_241
    @David_Richard_241 2 роки тому +1

    My comment has nothing to do with trucking in caves (which would have really freaked me out). Yesterday I stopped at my local DG to get milk for my Mom. There was a troubled young man at the counter ahead of me getting some essentials and was 50 cents short. I just happened to have some change and gave it to him. Sometimes all it takes to have a moment is two quarters in your pocket. Kurt, I think this speaks to you previous videos regarding talking to those who have served and guys like us who have not, and feeling pain for the folks in your neighboring area that had the tornado damage. Empathy is a double-edged sword. It's a good quality to have, but at the same time it can really sting. (sorry about the rambling. sometimes this old-timer CAN go on.)

Tis the season unfortunately for that late spring early summer storms. Glad you were ok in the Ice Cream Capital of America. Glad you, the family, critters & everybody in your town were ok. The kiddos looked nice & cozy in the basement. Safe travels back 2 Omaha tomorrow. Storms here later on until 3 in the morning. Cooler temps the rest of the week into the weekend. Sure would love 2 meet you & your dad while you guys are in town. You & Opie will b on the road with a newly repaired A/C just in time 4 the summer heat.🌞😅🙏🏼💕

    More than likely Mr. Beep, Beep also had to deliver/pickup from MSHA controlled mine sites and is required to have a backup alarm. At one time that cave didn't exist until people made a mine out of it, and it was a heck of a lot dirtier and more dangerous.

    That beep beep was rude for he did not wait as you back up. He keep the brights on which blinds you. I been to many caves and one Kansas city that rails for trains used for amo during WW2. Had to blindside into the dock and most of the ceiling lights were our. Went to many in Carthage MO and one our drivers was terrified of going in. Took my trailer in and came and took his in. And Indiana a follow guided me in but leaving I got list as there wasn't directions on for the exit. At Carthage I was in a cave when a tornado hit then one time I came out and 4+inches snow. Transported many loads of cheese from Idaho.
