Years ago you could sneak down there.
Now it's well secured and you pay a tour fee.

When the new guy (Jim Justice?) bought it, more than a few years back, he wanted to put the casino down there. He wasn't allowed to desecrate the historic shelter.

Staff was worried he was going to try to bust the Union.

It is off I-64 just West of the West Virginia/Virginia line in White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia.

Did my heart good to see this twitter record of the protest. Someone suggested perhaps the Republicans hadn't retreated far enough away.

Maybe the Moon might work
