The Missile Base is a true relic of the Cold War, preserved and frozen in time since the base’s use was terminated in 1979. You probably can’t be faulted for not knowing that here in Miami-Dade County, nestled in a national park is a missile base, as most locals are unaware of its existence. Considering it’s hidden off a side road (Long Pine Key Road) within Everglades National Park, even if you’ve driven through the Everglades looking for gators, you probably still would not have encountered it. Since you would have to drive a couple miles before seeing any type of building, many people would probably think there’s nothing to see and turn back around. http://www.visitflorida.com/en-us/articles/2013/freelance-articles-2013/nike-missile-base-everglades-freelance-article-winston.html
