You'd think that seeing as to how I live about 7 miles from Oak Ridge there'd be several fallout shelters around but so far all those I've checked have been closed and the signs removed. looks like I'm going to have to wait for the next challenge |
How about any disaster sign then
NEXT CHALLENGE : You vw next to a potential disaster sign, Tsunami, Flood, Rock slide, Fallout shelter. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

Not exactly a disaster sign, but I took this picture today at the entrance of the Diefenbunker Museum (Carp, Ontario, just outside of Ottawa). This was the nuclear fallout shelter built for the Canadian government:
From the website:
The Diefenbunker is a four-story, 300 room, 100,000 square foot underground bunker, and was meant to house 535 Canadian government officials and military officers in the event of a nuclear war. Shrouded in mystery, the Diefenbunker, nicknamed after then Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, was designed and built in secrecy during the crest of Cold War fear, between 1959 and 1961. The name of the facility was given by a Toronto Telegram journalist who exposed a story of its development.
Next up, why not get into the summer spirit, if it's done let's do it again, can't have too much summer, something seasonal:

Last snow of the year was a few months ago for us... Rain in the convertible isn't a great thing and we don't hang out for pic's when it happens, so we'll sit this one out too.
Maybe the addition can be made "and June Gloom" for Southern Californians? |

Made my dad help me rearrange the driveway to get a cool photo of all our VW's. The middle 3 are mine, the Jetta wagon is my brother's, and the Audi is my father's. He's the one who got me into bugs, and water cooled, in the first place. Nice way to spend father's day.
