Been,
I thought you would like the Batfish. It definitely gives one a sense of how small of a space the submariners had to contend with during WWII. Also, if I remember right, there was a smaller class of WWII submarine than what the Batfish was. Those sailors had it even worse.
Magnum,
Unless I'm mistaken, that has to be somewhere in the Panhandle.

I was actually shocked with how big it was. Not so much on the inside but from the outside. The guy running the place said that the German U-boats actually had less room in them. He described them as taking away the mess room, officers quarters, and a few other areas. But yes, going to the Batfish makes you respect the men who served during the day. The man said that Submariners back then could opt out of sub duty any time and get something else, so they knew what they were going into. They also did not shower for the entire deployment. THATS TWO TO THREE MONTHS!
An area just as barren. That's the schoolhouse from the town of Ravanna, Kansas, northeast of Garden City.
On my phone screen, that pic looked like a redneck Stonehenge.
I remember walking around that thing thinking to myself "why is it tied off?"
Perhaps with some "concern" with possible flooding?
I can't help but make a "boing" sound in my head every time I see a mule deer jump.
