Really Honking Big Missiles

While driving through the Everglades I spotted a sign for a Nike Missile Tour. I knew there was some space race stuff in the Everglades but my grandmother frowned and said "you mean the Cuban missile crisis?" I had no idea. My knowledge of the missile crisis begins and ends with the Bay of Pigs.

Time for a tour! ( Cut for some very big pictures )

In short: there is a lot of fascinating, little known historical stuff in Florida and occasionally I am pleased to live here. Mostly I feel that way visiting the Everglades, though.
