The second location we had on our list was a fortified VLF communications hub that had been built during World War II for communicating with the submarines in the Atlantic. The hub would have consisted of three antennas on massive fortified substructures. Only one of those substructures had been completed when the construction of the facility was no longer deemed necessary in 1941.
With the exception of the many graffiti, the bunker has not been altered since construction stopped almost 80 years ago.
Accessing the place was easy - there was a hole in one of the entrances that had been walled up at some point in the past.
The shape of the building along with the colors of moss and graffiti and the sunlight made this place fascinating, but also kind of surreal to explore.
It was a nice and easy location from a bad time in history, and I'm glad that we took the time to check it out.
