The Greenbrier

The Greenbrier is a big resort in West Virginia that hid a secret underground fallout shelter below it for 30 years. The bunker was built during the Eisenhower administration and was to be used as a place for congress to go should a plane with a nuclear bomb be on it's way to Washington, D.C. The bombs were still delivered by plane and not missile in those days. It was declassified in 1992 when the Washington Post exposed it's existence. It was conveniently located along our driving route and you can take tours of the bunker, so we stopped. The resort itself was interesting. The bunker...not so much. Most of it is used for data storage and thus, inaccessible. Otherwise, I think I got more information about it out of a TV show I saw on the place. My advice, save your money and check out the website: Greenbrier Bunker
On to Luray, VA. We will be stopping outside of Shenandoah National Park. Tomorrow morning, we're driving 1.5 hours to Washington Dulles Airport to catch a flight back to Texas. I have some job interviews. We'll see how it goes...the RV trip may be ending later this fall.
