The Missile Site Park is great opportunity to step back into the Cold War Era of national defense. The former nuclear warhead equipped Atlas E site was constructed in 1961. The host military base for the Atlas E program’s command and control was located at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. There were a total of four Atlas E sites in Weld County. This particular missile site was deactivated in 1965 and was turned over to Weld County. The Missile Site Park is located between Greeley, Windsor, and Loveland on 10611 Spur 257, Greeley, CO.

Out caching in the area on a cold day, visiting from San Jose. This was day 3 of my two week adventure, spent the day caching from Denver, CO to Hastings, NE. This was a quick find with nobody around. Nice hide! TN/LN/SL. Thanks for the cache!

This is the 3rd cache that we've found out here over the years. Was surprised to see prior logs regarding terrain. We thought it was pretty easy. Certainly not more than a 2.0, at least from the way we approached it. Fooled us for a second with the placement!
