Geocache Description:

I DECIDED TO PLACE CACHES IN HONOR OF ALL THE MEN WHO SERVED WITH THE AIR FORCE/LOWRY AFB TITAN I MISSILE FORCE DURING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME IN OUR HISTORY. IT WAS THEIR DEDICATION, SACRIFICE, AND SERVICE THAT MADE THE TITAN I PROGRAM AS STRONG AS IT WAS.

PLEASE REFER TO MY WEBSITE FOR PICTURES AND LINKS FOR THE TITAN I ICBM MISSILE SYSTEM:

Link to my Website

THERE WERE 6 TITAN I ICBM MISSILE SITES IN COLORADO. THEY WERE INSTALLED IN THE EARLY 1960'S BY PRESIDENT KENNEDY TO COUNTER THE COLD WAR THREAT OF A STRIKE-FIRST NUCLEAR ASSAULT ON THE U.S. AND IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT HE DID, FOR IF IT WERE NOT FOR THIS CAPABILITY, THE CUBA MISSILE CRISIS WOULD HAVE ENDED VERY DIFFERENTLY. IT'S A SHAME THAT WE NEEDED OUR OWN STRIKE-FIRST NUCLEAR OFFENSIVE, BUT IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KHRUSHCHEV LISTENED TO.

BASE 724C IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD, HOWEVER THE 19 ACRE SITE IS STILL THERE, MINUS MISSILES AND DIESEL GENERATORS. THIS SITE AS WELL AS 725A ARE THE ONLY ONES IN PRIVATE HANDS.

THESE MISSILES WERE NEVER NEEDED FORTUNATELY, BUT THEIR PRESENCE AND READINESS DETERRED THE SOVIETS FROM ATTEMPTING A NUCLEAR STRIKE OF THEIR OWN. THEY WERE EVENTUALLY DECOMMISSIONED AND REPLACED BY A MORE CAPABLE TITAN II ICBM SYSTEM, WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN DECOMMISSIONED AS WELL.
