Does anyone know who the owner of this particular site is? (this one that everyone has visited, out on the eastern plains farthest away from Denver metro.)
Thanks

It could be a good idea to contact the owner, maybe we could get permission to go something. That would take care of certain legal issues....

I have heard the owner is nuts and will ream you out just for asking. However I don't actually know who he is nor do I have his contact info so I'd like to get it if anybody has this information. Thanks.

I've already gone down that route. I wish I could remember the owner's name (it was years ago), but I can confirm: yeah, he's off the rocker. Like, way off.

• I contacted the property owner about permission to photograph the site, and he said I needed to talk to the Department of Agriculture, 'cause they retained ownership of the part of the property that was underground.
  
• I contacted the Dept. of Agriculture, and they said they turned ownership over to the EPA for environmental cleanup.
  
• The EPA told me they were contracted by the Army Corps of Engineers, and they could give or deny permission.
  
• The Army said that no one actually owned the underground property, so they wouldn't have any problem with it, as long as I had permission from the property owner.
  
• The property owner (who apparently didn't remember me from six hours earlier) said no.

well i guess it was worth a try.... Think the owner is crazy enough to chase someone down into the silos?

Probably not, but he (or his neighbors) will call the sheriff on ya, and with only one way in/out of the base, he can just wait for you at the entrance.

Is there anywhere to stash a vehicle and make a stealthy approach in to the silo? How close does the owner and his crazy neighbors live to the silo? Within a good visible range?

No the owner lives out of state, and may even be dead by now (he's pretty old).

The neighbors are rarely the problem.

Sheriffs' Deputies drive up to the fence every once in awhile. If they see a vehicle on the property, they'll wait until you come out (no one will come in after you).
Thing is, the county is over 400 square miles, and there's only, like, four deputies.
I've left my car on property 3 times, each in excess of 2 hours, and have not been caught yet.
A friend of mine, however, got picked up on his 4th visit...
Getting caught on the property is regular trespassing, but it's something like a C-felony if they know you were inside.

Best bet is to park a car in town, and bring bicycles you can stash inside the complex.

I really doubt that.
