No one hassled me. Of course, I wasn't trying to get close to any of the facilities or take any people pictures. During a later visit, a security guard told me I was free to ride around, but photos weren't allowed. It's probably best to check with security, located at the north end of the property. I'm sure you'd need to get permission to access any interiors. Cars have to check in with security and get a pass, but there were no rules about bikes, so I just went in and rode around.

I have heard scary things about the location, and would love to see the tunnels myself. Do you need to get permission to look around and take pictures here, or is it open to the public? To DirtBum:

I hadn't been keeping up with blogging at all. Lots of rides and lots of pics, but never got around to writing them up and posting them on the blog, then did them all at once over the Christmas holiday (published with back-dated post dates; that's why they look old). I'm going to try to keep up better in 2010! Neglect issues (blush). I hadn’t been keeping up with blogging at all.

I love it! Oddly enough, this (and all your posts since this one) just now showed up in my Bloglines account. Weird! Did you have RSS feed issues? Wow, what a fascinating, eerie place. I love it!
