Prime Base Location-Reprise

[.45cultist]

For a Missouri Prime Base could be hidden by reclaiming one or more of the old coal strip pits. Perhaps by making one part under an underground storage rental, one a resort for fishing and hunting, not sure about the third. A couple have been turned into deep lakes, but other wise become brush filled scars.

With a Missouri location, Prime is now located within striking distance of the Kentucky Free State.

On the other hand, placing Prime in Utah or Wyoming might be a better alternative.

I looked at mines in Missouri and the issue is high ground water. The best solution would be the lead mines, they have huge chambers that would allow for large buildings. The fact that most of the pit mines filled with water and all the underground ones did shows just how bad an issue this would be. It would require Prime base to be completely watertight, well forever.

Then it forces the site westward or northwestward.

Considered western Nebraska?
Especially around Chaldron, just south of the Pine Ridge Reservation, rolling hill country, lightly populated, outside fall out patterns. Seems like an decent location for a base.

There are so deep mines out west that are much drier than those in Missouri. There are some likely candidates near Provo

Mount Shasta

Where better place to hide an underground city than in a location that's had legends of underground cities for a century?

Mount Shasta is a "potentially active" volcano but probably won't erupt for a couple of hundred years. Bruce will be able to tell you when...

Not sure a volcano is a good place to dig a really big hole. The area is also very far from a lot of things.

Also not a good place to be when nukes are flying. The odds of a nuke triggering a volcanic eruption are probably low but they aren't zero, either.

Tell that to about half of the Bond-esqe villians

Next you will be telling me that sharks with lasers on their heads are a bad idea.
