55 mil sq ft? Not even close ;). From the Springfield Underground website: "Springfield Underground contains 3.2 million square feet of leasable space free from exposure to the outdoor elements". But still awesome facility.
Maybe i am completely mistaken, but isn't this video depicting Springfield Underground, a completely different place than Subtropolis which you are probably referring to?
It’s pretty much the same as Bussen underground in St. Louis, I’ve been down in Bussen before and it almost looks the same ( not sure on how big it is.
I was born in Springfield, MO so I had to look it up. It is a limestone mine that has been converted to an underground warehouse. It includes basic storage and refrigerated completely protected from the elements.
My first thought was food storage for the elite and a bunker for when we get hit with a nuclear bomb. They are preparing this for themselves. there’s something wrong with this entire thing. I’m not buying that it’s just a refrigerated storage that place is way too freaking big who owns it?the government?
These are the guys that get the groceries to the stores, that get the clothing's to the consignment and move everything around the nation. I have a lot of respect for these people. They make things happen

The sheer scale of things in the USA never ceases to amaze me. I visited the mid-west 20 years ago and enjoyed my time there, I've never seen anything as staggering as those caves - building 10, with 37+ gates?!?!?! And I've never seen that many trucks in one place at one time! Thanks for sharing your experience Chad. I enjoyed the ride!
Cool place, I drove truck in there over 20 years ago, it has improved a lot since I was last there, the lighting, road, and signs have improved significantly. Even have buildings built into the rocks. Wow !!
@@Melissa0774 Many years ago it was some kind of mine, not sure what they mined, then it closed and they converted it into underground storage because it has a natural effect on temperature and humidity year round, something like 52˚ Fahrenheit, a very inexpensive way of storing things like dry goods for long periods of time. When I was there I picked up 22 pallets of sugar, full trailer load. I think they even ran trains in there on railroad tracks, or at least they did years ago, quite impressive inside.
@@petebachelder1131 The air brakes, (I think that's what it is,) on the truck in this video sounds exactly like an elephant call because of the echo. I can only imagine what the train must sound like down there, especially if they blow the whistle, though I don't see why they would. EDIT: Actually on second thought, I just realized I was thinking of the other video I watched before this one, of a truck backing up inside the caves. I was actually referring to that high pitched speaking noise the trucks make when they stop.
@@Melissa0774 If your talking about the sound at 8:22 yes that is the air brakes, or better put the parking brakes, never heard it compared to an elephant call, that's interesting... Trains don't need to use horns in there, only trucks and employees, the general public isn't allowed in so the same rules don't apply. Besides it would be deafening with the sound waves bouncing off the walls.
The Giant Kraft Cheese Cave! 🧀 It connects all the way underground to St. Louis and the Giant Anheuser-Busch Beer Cave 🍻? Sunlight? Was that hole in the ceiling where the Swiss Cheese is stored?
@@curtiscamaro5926 I can give you some serious history on JCT. Ran with them early 90's before elogs and lease purchase. JCT was a horrible company bcos you didn't know better. You're designed to struggle and wipeout with lease purchase. Trucks maintenance is the biggest issue compare to trailers. Your maintenance fund will deplete quick as you tried to build one. Kiss your dispatchers ass for the crap. That's when they compensate with the good. Time off is to punish you. Wheels not turning You're not earning. Nor is the company with your truck. I can drag this shit out for a week. Stay away from lease purchase companies. Buy you a truck with cash or finance thru a bank. It's a suicide mission. Only a few will survive the gauntlet. Guarantee everyone paid a hefty price ( no paychecks) to own that truck.
I've been inside a couple or three underground facilities. One was right there in Springfield. My truck looked 3 times bigger in there. Went to a driver's school in Sprinfield for 8 weeks back in '86 right next door to the one I visited decades later. They were still blasting limestone out of it in '86 . We could feel the floor in the classroom vibrate when they shot the rock about a quarter mile east of us. Interesting places. Thanks for the reminder.
I've lived in Springfield Missouri for a better portion of my life and I have driven by the Springfield Underground many times. I've always wondered what it looks like inside. Nice video.
They could totally put a hotel down there. The truckers would have a comfortable place that isn't their truck to sleep, but also would know their truck is safe.
@@Perceus996 It's leasable space for anyone. Kraft only uses it for aging, not bulk storage. There's articles on this because there were stories going around that Kraft was storing cheese in caves.
@@Perceus996 Lol. I actually live about 30 minutes from there. A good friend of mine used to work down there and would always post some photos of the place. It's pretty cool, literally cool down there.
This place is known as the Springfield Underground. Lived here for over a decade and always wanted to tour it. It's the largest ware house district in Springfield. Kraft and all kinds of other businesses rent storage down there since it's easier to maintain a constant temperature. There are even server farms down there for state and government entities.
Used to deliver here as well, watching some of these guys effortlessly back up a 53’ in some of these tight spaces was always amazing, vid doesn’t do it justice of how crammed lol also if anyone was wondering, businesses rent space down here or buy it, then they put up walls between the pillars where their business will be
Been down there. It's not as bad as it looks. There's plenty of room to maneuver. There's lots of people that can't backup to begin with. Some people are intimidated. I've spotted for a few. People are always there to help. There are truck stops much tighter.
I grew up in Missouri, we used to play in a old quarry that looks just like this, it's between Foley and elsberry, there are tons of quarries just like this all over Missouri
Actually it is not a cave it is mine. But it is very cool I worked out there for about three months for Bass Pro shops but I couldn’t take it because I have a bit of claustrophobia and even for the extra money which was nice I couldn’t do it.
The real question is why is there shops like bass pro down there when a lot of people that live there don’t even know about them? I feel like there is something odd going on here like an end times thing so when shot hits the fan people with the status can go on life as normal as possible but normal people will not be able to go there. Elites only type of place
@@robertbailey1253 The important part is to look directly above it. There’s a co-op castle for the filthy rich sitting on top, so when they resurface they feel like kings
@@robertbailey1253the only problem with that is that this mine is not airtight. There are holes like skylights in many places in this mine. So they’d either have to seal off those holes, or have an airtight cavern of some sort somewhere. So in an end of the world situation, there are much better places to be.
I was born in Springfield. This cave system looks big in the video but is so much bigger than you can imagine. Basically, if you’re in springfield there’s a good chance you’re standing above a huge cave.
And try to guess how many similar to this are in the United States? Check out VA, WVA, PA, DC, CO, NM, etc. In Virginia look up Mt. Weather. Definitely not what they say it is.
I'm a retired Truck driver. I've been in many caves. Some are easy, most are not. They were built before 53' trailers and it can be a challenge to get a 53 foot trailer in a dock built for a 48 foot trailer. But we do what they say can't be done. Just like the song for Smokey and the Bandits 😂. To the Drivers still out there. THANK YOU, for what you do.
Seems like the perfect place and cover for a military bunker. It's well-fortified, lots of semi-trailers bringing in TONS of everything you might need in an emergency and it looks like it runs much deeper than the semi-trailers and truckers have access. Interesting 🤔 On a different note, it looks like the base for a Bond villain from the Connery/Moore era.
Been in many times for Kraft in Springfield. Tyson has a cave down in Ar outside Springdale and another one up in Kansas City. Just old lime stone quarry repurposed. Stays 65° down there all year long. Cheaper to Operate large freezers and refrigerated warehouses at that consistan temperature than fluctuating outside air temperatures.
@@ChadRichLLC then again it could all be a front for the government to hide aliens. Or bunkers for the politicians and ultra rich during a time of war. But what do I know I'm just a dumb trucker. Damn this tin foil hats gettin tight
I worked in building 2 about 1/4 mile into the ground behind the hospital they have in there. Cool place to work but p.s. use the call box next time before trying to plow through the entre lol
I've delivered to the caves, taco bell and kfc stuff.. mirrors fogged up instantly which made it fun backing in the tight spaces! That cave in video is well lit at least
Much respect for all the truckers out there. It's not an easy job spending weeks sometimes months away from family, backing those trailers into sometimes really tight spaces, and dealing with some of the most moronic drivers and crazy weather conditions. Hats off to you guys.
Richard Skipper I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to think so. I mean you see in movies, hear about the rumors and so on. But to see just how big this place was and all the docks and so much more, there’s no way in hell a company would pay and waste so much resources to have a loading dock in a cave just for the hell of it...
The bible talks about it...when it says the kingsman and the rich men shall go into the mountains and say to them, fall on us and protect us from the wrath of God.
Where do U think all the celebrities are hiding out at! While we have ww3 they will be in the inner elaborate cities they have built underground.. but they won’t show u that part 🤫
Years ago the James River Church used to have a big 4th of July Celebration every year in a nearby large field. One of the activities was to bring bus loads of people into Springfield Underground. After 911, they stopped all tours because of the threat of terrorism.

@@ddf5575 the one I specifically worked in was a data center for Springfield business. Just backing up their data like Cloud storage. But most of the units were for food products, Kraft Heinz being the biggest.
@@javieratam59dotnet I'm not positive who own the mine. You can see that he passes by walls that have numbers on them, and each number is a unit. Each unit is rented by different companies and its mostly just good storage because it's a year round temperature controlled climate that is safe from the elements. If there was a tornado outside, you wouldn't even know it.
We know it's not the truckers...my Grandpop was a trucker and they work hard to get us the goods....seems the whole system is just log jammed and in chaos, not self righteous here but when we do things our creators way (motivated by Love) things go right.......
Tons of these in KC, anything from huge cheese collections, to data centers there, you know how much refrigeration money you will save buy storing all your refrigerated products down here at 62 degrees

I am sure everything is legitimate here ..) "Casey Jones you better Watch your speed Trouble ahead Trouble behind" 😉
@@user-hk8gp7ui6s It was neat working in a cave, or I should say an active mine. I would sneak off at break time and explore a section that had a river running through it and yes it was always the same temperature.
It's just an underground warehouse. Here is a google search of the cave. www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&source=android-browser&q=subtropolis

Oh man, I've been there twice! First time, I was like wtf?! My dispatchers never told me nothing back then, as a newbie. I think that's a front fir a deep government silo, or something, ha
@@stretchwith Seemed like he was delivering to Kraft, but likely this place is a giant set of warehouses built into an old mine. I imagine mostly refrigerated storage.

@@Psyhohm it's not being made underground. It's used as a warehouse. Save TONs of money on refrigeration by going underground. Think they've been using the site since the 60s.
@@Psyhohm I know, 'Kraft....as in the "food" company'. I comprehend. What I'm saying is, that under ground facility is something other than a 'food warehouse'. Oh, and by the way, Kraft does NOT make FOOD! CHEMICALS are NOT food. (READ the labels.....look up the TOXIC CHEMICALS.)
40 years ago, during the nationwide running boom, I was in a 10-K run in this underground facility. It was called, "The Great Underground Fun Run." The circuit wasn't long enough for one lap, so we had to do two laps to make the difference. I remember the race leaders and everyone else being shocked that they all beat their personal best times. People thought the caverns had something to do with it. But they soon realized the people who laid out the course made it too short. Some people were upset about that, but most remembered it was advertised as a FUN RUN, and wasn't a certified or sanctioned event. And running underground WAS fun. I still remember it clearly from 40 years ago. :-)
@Guess Again they need the lie, mostly here in our country ,we've had it to good to long, no one wants it to end . Time to put up the evergreen and await st nick. Everyone thinks we are a exception to the rest of the world like China, Japan, Venezuela hell almost anywhere south America, France, africa ,India etc.

Just like the song for Smokey and the Bandits 😂. To the Drivers still out there. THANK YOU, for what you do.
Seems like the perfect place and cover for a military bunker. It's well-fortified, lots of semi-trailers bringing in TONS of everything you might need in an emergency and it looks like it runs much deeper than the semi-trailers and truckers have access.
Interesting 🤔
On a different note, it looks like the base for a Bond villain from the Connery/Moore era.
I agree with the latter statement. Follow the money. This is not about us at all it’s about THEM
The dooms day tunnels 🙃
Just a practical re use of an old mine . Lots of useable storage space at a constant temperature
Well that's a huge mine
Wow what in the heavens were they mining for that required this much size to be just “left over” 😂
Never once showed a interest in trucking, but RUclips sent me here. Glad I could come along for the ride! ✊🏿😁
wow - This is unreal. Just found this. Remarkable...I had no idea something like this existed. thanks for sharing it.
Omg Please research these! They are all over the United States!!
Caves used for storage? I mean, it's kinda cool I guess. I wouldn't really call it impressive lol
That place is insane. Unbelievable how much space is inside
Tim yes it’s huge but I think it’s kinda cool
Randy Baker u might with the knowledge that some of these folks ha e about this place it’s awesome to hear the history of it thanks for watching
Chad Rich how far back does it go? Miles that is? What kinda business are down there? Looks like a secret military complex or NORAD on steroids.
Been in many times for Kraft in Springfield. Tyson has a cave down in Ar outside Springdale and another one up in Kansas City. Just old lime stone quarry repurposed. Stays 65° down there all year long. Cheaper to Operate large freezers and refrigerated warehouses at that consistan temperature than fluctuating outside air temperatures.
Yes sir you are correct
@@ChadRichLLC then again it could all be a front for the government to hide aliens. Or bunkers for the politicians and ultra rich during a time of war. But what do I know I'm just a dumb trucker. Damn this tin foil hats gettin tight
Looks like he's setting up the final act to a doomsday hiest. Lol
Anyone else hoping to see a Swift truck wadded up sideways in there?!!!!!
Shh it's fine lol
Yes lol
Yep
😜🤣🤣 They probably don’t allow ole Swifties in there for just that reason. 🤣😜🤣
Its funny i always knew swift drivers were shit when i was a kid
Then i grew up and i guess i was pretty damn right
I worked in building 2 about 1/4 mile into the ground behind the hospital they have in there. Cool place to work but p.s. use the call box next time before trying to plow through the entre lol
I've delivered to the caves, taco bell and kfc stuff.. mirrors fogged up instantly which made it fun backing in the tight spaces!
That cave in video is well lit at least
You should have side mirror defoggers
Much respect for all the truckers out there. It's not an easy job spending weeks sometimes months away from family, backing those trailers into sometimes really tight spaces, and dealing with some of the most moronic drivers and crazy weather conditions. Hats off to you guys.
Thank you for the kind words also thanks for watching
Chile, half these men are happy as hell to be away from their wives & children.
I live in springfield and have always been curious what it's like down there. Never though to look up a video. Super cool. Thanks for the video!
Am i the only one who got chills from
Watching this?? We know damn well there’s more going on then just a loading dock!
Thanks for watching I appreciate
@@ChadRichLLC awesome video Sir
Anthony Frederick thanks Anthony
What in tarnation is cave for?
Richard Skipper I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to think so. I mean you see in movies, hear about the rumors and so on. But to see just how big this place was and all the docks and so much more, there’s no way in hell a company would pay and waste so much resources to have a loading dock in a cave just for the hell of it...
lived in springfield missouri my whole life and i’ve never heard of this thing. i feel like we should be talking about this here
The bible talks about it...when it says the kingsman and the rich men shall go into the mountains and say to them, fall on us and protect us from the wrath of God.
Where do U think all the celebrities are hiding out at! While we have ww3 they will be in the inner elaborate cities they have built underground.. but they won’t show u that part 🤫
@@tammyellis9277 yelp, I agree with you...100%!
@@hopingtobewheatnotatare172 bingo!
Dude I'm sayin, lived here my whole life and just heard of it because of this video
Life in Springfield and always wanted to see the underground. Thank you and u seem like a sweetheart.
Lamberts home of the thrown rolls ... love that place.
Michael Dillon Lambert’s is an awesome place that’s for sure
Isn't Lambert in Ozark Missouri?
biff binford yes I believe it is
biff binford and Sikeston Mo
love the rolls
Years ago the James River Church used to have a big 4th of July Celebration every year in a nearby large field. One of the activities was to bring bus loads of people into Springfield Underground. After 911, they stopped all tours because of the threat of terrorism.
Brian Sturges That’s cool I never knew that I appreciate you sharing that with me and I appreciate you watching hope you enjoyed it and will subscribe have a great night
I think I remember this buses would pick up at the old north town mall and take u to the field
Always loved going into the caves to pick up or deliver, just pretty cool 😎
So Kraft is located in Dr. Evil's lair.
Oh behave.
Kraft is all over town. 5 sites.
Yeah, they're pretty krafty.
I came to that conclusion yrs ago .
Who do you think owns craft
I was starting to wonder why an underground cave had 9 IKEA’s in it. Nice color scheme for the offices lol
Wow Very cool underground shipping and receiving and railroad ❤ I would love to see the railroad go under thire. Very awesome !
Glad that "CHAD" know what He is doing! I would get lost in 2 seconds or less!
Me too,amazing!!!
lol the domino's delivery guy at the beginning. hopefully he got a good tip for going down there.
I use to have Domino's deliver to me ALL the time when I worked in there. I always tipped very well.
@@GinaD0726 what is the complex for?
@@GinaD0726 What is this place, who owns it?
@@ddf5575 the one I specifically worked in was a data center for Springfield business. Just backing up their data like Cloud storage. But most of the units were for food products, Kraft Heinz being the biggest.
@@javieratam59dotnet I'm not positive who own the mine. You can see that he passes by walls that have numbers on them, and each number is a unit. Each unit is rented by different companies and its mostly just good storage because it's a year round temperature controlled climate that is safe from the elements. If there was a tornado outside, you wouldn't even know it.
What does everyone think on the current situation about not being able to get food and other items to the stores.
We know it's not the truckers...my Grandpop was a trucker and they work hard to get us the goods....seems the whole system is just log jammed and in chaos, not self righteous here but when we do things our creators way (motivated by Love) things go right.......
I can only imagine how intimating this was the first time driving it! Semi driver's always have my respect. Great job, and stay safe.
Thanks for watching
Im guessing they see the craziest shit. If they see military installations or "public makl installations"
Casual Domino's delivery driver at 1:46 on the left LOL
Haha I saw the car topper but didn't realize what it was
Employee birthday?
Tons of these in KC, anything from huge cheese collections, to data centers there, you know how much refrigeration money you will save buy storing all your refrigerated products down here at 62 degrees
Correct
Been in the cave system up near KC back in the early 80s, pretty amazing. It actually had a Food Court.
Did anyone back then explain why they were building these places? I find it interesting. Thanks.
I was a floor tech many years ago and once had to do the floors in the offices. That place is crazy huge. Unreal.
James Godsey yes it’s is huge as hell
Omg 😱 such a cool drive ! Thanks for taking us there 🙏
Is this what my tweaker neighbor imagines he's creating when he's in his backyard at 4AM digging with his shovel?
Yes
Nah he’s burying his wife.
Lol. Had a tweaker neighbor who sanded down rocks to make them round.
METH? Maybe its a Meth cooks cave super store?? With dockside pick up! And for those too busy nights, finished product à la carte! Its a Hi-Tech and adapting facility...(I am just making a joke. I am sure everything is legitimate here ..) "Casey Jones you better
Watch your speed Trouble ahead Trouble behind" 😉
Nah hes looking for something, forgot what it was in the time to get the shovel, but hes determined to find whatever it was nevertheless
So this is how Vault-Tec got its start.
love tour of something I have never seen and I live here.my son is a hazmat driver must respect to you
I been through this cave very nice but no signal inside 😂
Now we know what those caves are used for. I always thought it was crazy. I wonder how far underground the children are hidden?
💡
You are right on target 🔎 fren
Wow that is a wild complex you wouldn't know it was there without this video.
Go to Wikipedia and look up "SubTropolis" for more info on the cave system.
www.springfieldunderground.com/ is the correct site
It's easy to tell the difference. Subtropolis has bright white deposits. Springfield underground deposits look dirty.
@@THEFEELGOOD420 I'm fairly certain that Subtropolis is painted to reduce the limestne dust. Idk for certain though been years since I been down there
@@nathanaelbellamy5562 I think it's a limestone mine
Those huge boring machines can cut 6 feed an hour.
They have underground stuff everywhere.
I worked as a Janitor in the Kraft storage, it was cool
Probably a good place to work. The temperature would always be the same I guess.
@@user-hk8gp7ui6s It was neat working in a cave, or I should say an active mine. I would sneak off at break time and explore a section that had a river running through it and yes it was always the same temperature.
Gigantic is an understatement
I had no idea that truckers go into a bat cave. I learn something new today.
There is actually a town named "bat cave" look it up.
I don't think I would want to enter something like that, and whats with all the buildings underground. WOW.
It's just an underground warehouse.
Here is a google search of the cave.
www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&source=android-browser&q=subtropolis
Last time o was there. There was 9 warehouses. They planing on expanding to add more. It interesting but tight when maneuvering.
Back in the 60's, my dad worked for Carthage Marble. He took us in the caves there. I was a kid and thought those were big. Thanks for sharing
Well I’m glad I got to take you down memory lane again. Thanks for watching
You weren't lying when you said it was a cave, that's pretty damn cool
More like fuckincreepy
This i what I imagine underground bases in Minecraft look like in real life.
Worked for a company located in one of these caves in Independent MO...same temp all year..cool place to work tnks for the memories
first time i heard and saw of this was about a year ago when i was watching Indiana Jack back when he was still driving
It’s a pretty cool place tbh
Meto bae 😍
@S Lawson sshhhh it supposed to be a secret lol
@Eliseo Palestina considering where im from it is in many ways yes but in Italy its a quite common name :) pity im not related to the Enzo Family lol
I live in Springfield and the Springfield Underground is absolutely amazing !!
M W yes it’s pretty cool I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video
what is it for?
Fun Time it’s for storage of merchandise of all kinds .
You can look it up and it will tell you all the history behind it .
Always wanted to go in
Mio Dio , quanti camion! Cosa portano li dentro?
I've seen this place a few times online, and every time I do I still hope one day I'll see a giant minotaur in it.
The tradesman's entrance to a supervillain's lair.
Seems like a good place the government could use for storage in case of an emergency...
Prep”s 2.0. This isn’t your average apocalypse safe house!
Big bro doesn’t mess around.
was litterly thinking the same thing. thats why i clicked on the vid haha
Zack Nichols in a grid down, you wont be able to get within a half mile of this place.
it doesn’t look deep enough. you see where that part of the cave was exposed to daylight
I wouldn’t make it my apocalypse safe hose! 1 not safe most these have only few exit and enters. 2 people work there probably already took over and will kill your ass! 3 it only be good for food and fuel! To many people know about it and you constantly be fighting for it!
Oh man, I've been there twice! First time, I was like wtf?! My dispatchers never told me nothing back then, as a newbie. I think that's a front fir a deep government silo, or something, ha
It’s quite the place.. I appreciate you watching
@@ChadRichLLC What is it exactly? A distribution hub for everything from everywhere? You said the word "Craft".
@@stretchwith Seemed like he was delivering to Kraft, but likely this place is a giant set of warehouses built into an old mine. I imagine mostly refrigerated storage.
@@ninja5672 ah, good point, and Kraft foods would need a gigantic, cooled facility for distribution. That place is amazing.
Miss your videos Chad. I figured I would watch a older video this morning.
Damn that place is massive its amazing whoever thought of the idea
For anyone wondering where/what this is. It is:
Kraft Warehouse
2019 LeCompte Rd
Springfield Missouri
Nearest major intersection:
Rte 66 and LeCompte Rd
South West corner
Riiiiight!! It's 'FRONT' (the 'official narrative') is that it's a 'company warehouse'!! *wink* *wink* I want to know wtf it IS, in reality!!
@@DawnieRotten Well you could always drive through the poorly guarded gate and tailgate really close to the vehicle in front of you to get through the main entrance while staff give you a dirty look that says "Fuck'n idiot didn't read the signs...".
Kraft as in the food. Why is food being made under ground. What are they doing down here.
@@Psyhohm it's not being made underground. It's used as a warehouse. Save TONs of money on refrigeration by going underground. Think they've been using the site since the 60s.
@@Psyhohm I know, 'Kraft....as in the "food" company'. I comprehend. What I'm saying is, that under ground facility is something other than a 'food warehouse'. Oh, and by the way, Kraft does NOT make FOOD! CHEMICALS are NOT food. (READ the labels.....look up the TOXIC CHEMICALS.)
There's a cave like this in Kansas City, MO also. Alot of food storage. I worked in one of the sections back in the early 80's.
40 years ago, during the nationwide running boom, I was in a 10-K run in this underground facility. It was called, "The Great Underground Fun Run." The circuit wasn't long enough for one lap, so we had to do two laps to make the difference. I remember the race leaders and everyone else being shocked that they all beat their personal best times. People thought the caverns had something to do with it. But they soon realized the people who laid out the course made it too short. Some people were upset about that, but most remembered it was advertised as a FUN RUN, and wasn't a certified or sanctioned event. And running underground WAS fun. I still remember it clearly from 40 years ago. :-)
That’s a long time ago my brother
I been here so many times also such a cool place to go
Yes it is a cool place thanks for watching brother be safe out there
Wow. Seeing this sent me down memory lane. I use to load and unload trailers in that very same building from 2015 to 2017..
Now I hope people get a better understanding of what really going on!
@Guess Again they need the lie, mostly here in our country ,we've had it to good to long, no one wants it to end . Time to put up the evergreen and await st nick. Everyone thinks we are a exception to the rest of the world like China, Japan, Venezuela hell almost anywhere south America, France, africa ,India etc.
IF THIS IS WHAT HE CAN FILM 🎞 I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE SHYT WE DONT KNOW ABOUT ? WOW 🤩
I've been in those caves and you wouldn't think you could make the turns or maneuver but who ever designed them did a good job. Not that I'm keen to go back lol! 2-3 times is enough to say you got the full experience!
been under this underground few times, it was amazing site to behold when I first seen it in my truck 😂
What is the purpose of this underground facility
@@filipskalic3376 Cold storage for food. I've been to this one a few times and the one in Carthage a few times as well.
@@darkrider68 tnx for info bro
