Default Re: Whats this??

its wierd , cant see it clearly on there but, its mounded at the sides almost to the top of the structure, from the side they look a little like poly tunnels with mounding to the side, but i doubt theyre poly tunnels they look too substantial, you can see the terracing of the mound on the view, theres a entrance on the west side and an access road,

i thought they might be covered reservoirs, but there doesnt look to be much in the way of pump equipment , unless thats in there as well..............

It's my AR tent.....giving it a tester before the summer......

Do you think they will charge me an "Excessively Sized Tent" Fee?

Why cover them? Cause surely up North it never gets warm enough for the water to evaporate?

Isn't it a disused russian missle silo, where an evil megalomaniac is making his/her plans for world domination, only to be thwarted by a certain british secret agent/ member of a bike org!?!
