I am jealous of Switzerland's Bunker situation and commitment to incorporate them into their so many aspects of their society. Really creative ways to adapt them into the landscape too
I almost went for a bike ride today right where you were. There use to be a lot of buildings and bunkers about 20 years ago. The first place you were at was a Nike Site I believe. Wampatuk is a great Park. You might want to check out Great Esker in Weymouth, small, but the biggest Esker in the US.
Look into the Nike Missile base off of rt. 1, Topsfield. The entrance is at the tail end of a neighborhood formerly used by officers. The Admin building is in rough shape, but the missile workshop, and missile launch pads are still there. Bunker is flooded.
Grew up in Scituate. Went to Wampatuck Park often as kid in early 80s. Attended Wampatuck Elementary and lived directly across street of school. There were old WWII lookout towers in the Glades at Minot and 4th cliff in Humarock
Thanks Chris...interesting old Naval area that would have some great stories to tell. There were certainly some prolific graffiti artists who enjoyed the old buildings!
Out here in chicagoland we have the hundreds of bunkers dotting the former Joliet Arsenal. The War Dept and later DOD made tons of explosives, projectiles and other weapons at the Joliet Arsenal from 1941 until it was finally decommissioned in 1993. Still not entirely safe to go off the roads and railway rights-of-way because who knows where there may be a stray UXB? Despite its status as a Superfund cleanup site, most of the 20,000 acres is untainted and now home to an ever-larger herd of bison, brought in from Kansas to "restore the prairie." It'll be a century before that happens but the bunkers are there, looming and drawing people to their open doors.
Your in MA. Are you heading down to Woods Hole to the Geodesic Dome? "The Dome in Woods Hole, the oldest surviving geodesic dome in the world built by Buckminster Fuller"
I'm not sure, but l think you were in the part of Wompatuck that was actually closed much later than the rest of the property and was actually kind of closed off to the public because it was contaminated. But l think that part was kept until the late seventies or early eighties by The Core of Engineers. I remember walking there in the early 80's with my Dad as it wasn't well secured, and there were acres and acres of huge buildings you could easily walk through where they tested munitions and all types of equipment before it was eventually heavily vandalized over the later years. I remember a bunch of my friends played lazer tag in them when that was a thing. Up until about 6 to 8 years ago all those buildings remained until they finally tore mostly everything down and cleaned up the site and officially opened it to the public. If you went there 35 years ago it was like the ultimate urbex dream.
Awesome video, cool place to visit. Too bad there are so many mondless criminals who trash places with graffitti. Graffitti is vandalizim and no way no how a form of art.
THANK YOU,,IDNK THIS..INTERESTING..WHEN YOU GONNA LOOK THIS AREA OF MAINE OVER FOR SOME COOL HISTORY?..S COUNTY RI,RT 1? HAS MILES OF COPPER (GREEN) WAR FENCING..ANYTHING LEFT THERE? SAFE TRAVELS..
Why does everyone have to put Graffiti on everything old or abandoned makes no sense , the youth these days is lost nothing is sacred to be honest the young shows no respect for history !!!!!!!!!

It is really interesting how you find these long lost places. Thanks for showing us.

I ll look it up thanks!
Thanks, Chris! I kept thinking that there is a lot of potential liablity for the Commonwealth in that park. Over all, a fascinating piece of history!
It is fun watching your videos Chris. You have very good narration . Best videos are by yourself and not with someone else .
I find your videos so relaxing,I think it’s ur calm demeanor that makes em so enjoyable
Thanks for the tour Chris & information. ❤
"cant get away from used toilet paper" and the next thing you see on the wall "born to shit, forced to wipe" lmao
😂
It’s bloody haunted in there!! 👻👻

Spent hours at that park as a kid exploring all the old bunkers and buildings. Cool to see you there.
You're on a roll Chris. Cool content!
Thanks Chris...interesting old Naval area that would have some great stories to tell. There were certainly some prolific graffiti artists who enjoyed the old buildings!
I sure do enjoy your videos and i want to thank you.

Weird seeing that fire hydrant🧯🚒 Fascinating location.
Great video, thanks
Thanks so much for exploring that is neat

Annex - a building joined to or associated with a main building, providing additional space or accommodations.
So much former military sites were abandoned in the northeast
Your in MA. Are you heading down to Woods Hole to the Geodesic Dome?
"The Dome in Woods Hole, the oldest surviving geodesic dome in the world built by Buckminster Fuller"
A lot of homeless equals a lot of TP. With more TP coming every day. Pretty area.😊
Ok.
Right after you commented on the toilet paper you turned and the graffiti said born 2 shit forced 2 wipe. Lol
In brown spraypaint! 😆
I haven't been there in a long time, but Bear Cove park in Hingham had old ammunition buildings there also

That looks like a cool place
Always love your videos. Willl you be posting to the main channel any time soon? Love the long format videos as well.
Cool find🏚
It is crazy to think of all the industry that was needed for world war II
Spray can art are the best.
That’s actually some of the worst I’ve seen! It’s all nonsense and scribbles but yes very COLOURFUL
I wish you wouldn't go to these places alone. Seriously Chris there cld be anyone/ anything hanging around.

The place is pretty much a dump covered in human feces and you’re worried about a little paint?!
What kind of people do this spray painting all the time? It's ugly and It's hardly art.
What kind of people? There’s lots of different “kinds” of people who do it. Ever heard of Banksy?! Lol!
Mostly pot heads and drunks age 15-27.
Maybe the toilet paper is from the war when they heard the sirons they crapped themselves
Wish this was in ohio
🇺🇸🇺🇦❤🤍💙💛
Used toilet paper and the Massachusetts paint job.
The used toilet paper channel😅
WOMPATUCK STATE PARK LOTS OF GREAT FINDS THERE AWSOME VIDEO
