Future Glamping Resort? Needs Work

TSG came across this collection of shiny new-looking Airstreams in an otherwise vacant lot outside of Creston CA. Our guess is someone is planning a "Auto Camp"-type high-end glamping property in the vicinity. The total lack of infrastructure in this location is telling though. Perhaps this is just a staging area and the rigs are bound for more upscale digs.

Bunker Mentality

A visit to the formerly top-secret West Virginia congressional hidey-hole, now a subterranean roadside attraction. Photography is not allowed on the tour, so here are some unclassified documents available to the general public.

Mexican President Cortines, President Eisenhower, and Canadian Prime Minister St. Laurent pictured at The Greenbrier for the North American Summit Conference Meeting, March 26, 1956. Under the cover of this meeting, U.S. government officials reached an agreement to proceed with the emergency relocation facility for Congress.

A 25-ton blast door protected the west tunnel entrance of the emergency relocation facility for Congress located at The Greenbrier.

The only written documentation connecting Congress to the bunker project at The Greenbrier. Although the letter seems quite vague, for all practical purposes, this was the Congressional leadership's formal authorization.
