Jon, SD has one of those too. I grew up in this area with the Minuteman missles operated out of Ellsworth AFB near Rapid City. The missle sites and launch control facilities (LCF) were deactivated and sold off and the underground wiring connecting the LCF's to the missle sites reverted to the landowners A few years ago a lot of the cable in this area was salvaged by landowners including some that crossed my place.

One of the LCF's in my county has been turned into a B&B. In fact a couple guys here on NAT came to SD to do some prairie dog hunting and stayed at the B&B. ;-) Another LCF has the interior walls removed and is used for indoor archery.

Here's an article about the LCF near Wall, SD that has been preserved and is open for public viewing.
