Anyone For A Roadtrip To McCook?

(1/3) > >>

Gary:
Story goes, after WWII, someone ordered lots of ammo buried around McCook. 

Makes a great story.

SemperFiGuy:
Like that story:

If there's even a hint of .357Sig in 124gr Jacketed TC/FP in the stash, I'm headin' West.

I remember as a kid seeing post-WWII newsreels about ammo and perfectly usable Jeeps and 4X4s being blown up.

An engineer who worked for me years ago was raised in Austria during WWII.   He said that when the war was just over, he and his buddies would find live grenades from both sides and mess with them.    Throw them off the bridge into the river, stuff like that.

His mom would have a fit when he found guns and brought them home.

GreyGeek:
I'd wager that most of it is under Hugh Butler Lake.

skydve76:
I grew up in mccook until 8.  Take me as a tourist I mean guide.

msspatz:
The air base is still there in fact the guy that owns it is making it into a museum.  And hugh butler lake is drained right now due to the dam being rebuilt.  So where could I look if I was to go looking for it.  I have two metal detectors and 3 boys that would help me look.
