I think it could still be possible. I didn't know there was an airstrip there but I did know about the bunkers. I've been there and they're open to the public. There could certainly be more stuff under those mountains that aren't open to the public.
We actually have a lot of little airstrip, abandoned and otherwise. We also used to have a lot more industry so maybe that's why we have them? I'm not sure. If you are interested in vintage aviation you ought to look up area pics. It's pretty neat.
We definitely need your local perspective on this, and while you haven't seen anything yourself, I would love to have you continue to engage in this investigation. You may read a post or stumble on something that makes you think twice. You're perspective is invaluable here. I am curious about the locations of the airstrip, the bunkers, and the tunnels. Any way to assist in mapping would be appreciated, if you or anyone else can help.
I will do some digging tonight and either reply in a comment or pm you some info by tomorrow or the day after. I love my home, like anyone else I think there's no better, and I'd more than happy to give you some general info. If you can find something, that's great. Otherwise you'll have to read about how pretty my state is lol.
I've been there and it's gorgeous! I've also flown over it to see mounds that used to be mountains, mined for coal. I'm confident that there's almost too much for anyone researcher to tackle here if there's anything to find. My efforts are slow going for personal reasons, but I'm happy to focus here a bit, and if we can't dig up leads or something relatively soon, we'll move on to the next opportunity to assist. It's all we can do.
I just figured for me, myself, I'd have a little more info than someone just reading you know? I love in Wv and have been there numerous times and may have a better idea of where to start. I have some personal things going on as well, I need to start collecting a few links for you guys 😊
Absolutely understand. I saw someone cut you down pretty quickly and I'm never down with that. We all need to work together, not cut each other down. I was looking up some info on battlefields, preserved land, abandoned rail trails, etc. I haven't mapped anything yet, but oddly James Alefantis owns two properties in Va, one in Harrisonburg and the other is possibly in Christianburg. I'm really trying to see if we can somehow link Droop Mountain to a place like Harrisonburg, where I understand a lot of trafficking takes place, and of course, has a link to James Alefantis.
I'll keep you updated on my progress or any other ideas I might have! And, thank you!!!!
