When I lived at Fort Leavenworth as a kid, there was this creepy cool place in the woods my friends and I went to. It had a couple concrete buildings, an observation tower/platform and some pillbox looking things sticking up out of the dirt, with some cut wires and poo poo sticking out of pipes.It had a fence around it, but it had long been pulled apart by other explorers.
Everyone called it the "Nike site" without knowing why, but later on we found out it was because it had formerly been a launching pad for Nike missiles during the Cold War.
There was zero security and we hung out there any chance we got.
Still can't find it on Google Earth though 
From Wikipedia:
quote:
Control Site condition/owner
Redeveloped. Single family home. Large wooded area around home, appears to be totally redeveloped with no evidence of IFC, although may be parts of the facility in the woods to the southwest of the house.
39°20′29″N 094°57′04″W
Launch Site condition/owner
Mix of new and old buildings. Currently used as the Rod & Gun Club and the 35th Infantry Division (Mech) motor pool/maintenance facility. The vehicle park is on top of the three magazines. Large number of cars, boats, large RVs. Doors probably welded shut.
