Ancient missile silo!

While exploring one of the many canyons in Death Valley, Karla and I ran across something rather astonishing. Erosion had exposed an ancient missile silo! Petroglyphs nearby clearly showed rockets shooting off into space, and the targets were shown as covered wagons and primitive railroads with smoke-belching locomotives. Oddly, casinos were shown in non-targeted zones.

The majority of scholars disagree with my assessments, but they are under heavy pressure to be politically correct, seeing the native Americans as a peaceful bunch of nature-loving environmentalists who would never consider making rockets that spew a vile stream of polluting exhaust smoke.

But while standing in the base of the silo, we could clearly smell the residue of rocket exhaust, or maybe it was the smoke from the guy we saw just leaving with a cheap cigar clenched in his teeth.
