When in danger, when in doubt, RUN IN CIRCLES, SCREAM AND SHOUT!

These photos you posted were shot by members here. You should give them credit.
| Yeah, just elaborating on what Calvin said, I appreciate your exploration and sharing *your* findings, I understand that we're all kinda rebels here for being into UE, but posting someone else's work is not cool, and the "Not my photos, but..." stuff doesn't & shouldn't go-over too well here, even if the owners of those photos weren't occasionally on this site. I know you mean-well, etc. but re-posting someone else's intellectual property, especially without even bothering to credit them for their work, is enough to get someone ostracized or even outright banned. /-/oolie

You're probably right that this will also happen here eventually. I did the same hike with the same disappointment! I was so angry!!!! I hate to see a plaque explaining "what used to be there" after they demoed it on purpose to make it safe for the public, completely ignoring our historic past!
| I share your sadness & disgust, but keep in-mind the powers that be made the decision to demolish the structures because there were too many instances of "the public" going up there & doing something stupid -- vandalizing, scrap-metal stealing, partying(alcohol & bonfires), etc. If some asshole hikes up there with a can of spraypaint and writes something particularly "offensive," the property owners are then compelled to remove that ASAP, once it's brought to their attention, because if they don't, they'll have all-sorts of politically-correct people coming out of the woodwork claiming they're suffering mental anguish & physical pain, and that the government is negligent because they didn't immediately go up there & remove it. And because it's the government, they can't just say "Shaddup, you little snowflake!" & wait for some annual trek up there to clean the place. Simply having the structures means that the NPS has to patrol the area more frequently than if there were no structures, and that takes the LE Ranger away from other areas with more visitation and thus needing more patrols (Fort Funston, for example). So sadly, it makes perfect sense for the NPS to have had the structures remove after succesfuly making the argument that other Nike IFC sites were more intact, and thus there was no special, historic significance to Sweeney. I'm frustrated too, but at our society, not NPS. https://www.atlaso...missile-site-sf-51https://historysmc...pdf/La%20Peninsula,%20Nike%20Missle%20Areas,%20Summer%202012,%20ONLINE.pdf /-/ooligan P.S. By the way, Sweeney Ridge once also has a major US Coast Guard radio station, from about 1940-1970 when it moved to Point Reyes.

| | | I accidentally put this site on blast a year ago or so when I first posted on this forum and asked if anyone knew more about what this place was. I visited since then and meant to post a proper thread about it but never got around to doing it, might as well dump a few photos here now. It's crazy how different the area feels in the winter/early spring vs in the summer, I would definitely recommend doing both if you haven't yet. FIRST VISIT PICS: Here's a picture of the site from when we first went in. Super foggy, with clouds of mist everywhere: The border fence looks super menacing in this weather: SECOND VISIT PICS: Both times we visited, the cows were acting super shifty towards us. Pretty sure they're secretly on company payroll to guard the site. Here's a picture of them lining up in a spooky way to block our path: Nice and yellow hills in the summer. Incredibly fun to ride, but don't forget sunblock like me or you'll have a BAD time afterwards. Here's a pic of me on my bike taking in the view: Looks like someone is missing a few large bones. Found the culprit. Last time we noticed that there were some crazy acoustics in the main rocket stand, so we brought a speaker this time to play some rocket sounds and songs for fun. Here's a link to a short vid my friend took from inside the structure while we played space oddity, I really like the way he framed it. https://imgur.com/m94I5UX What a goddamn beauty. She's a tall one too. Got some rebar starting to show.
