Is that the castle from the show which followed Doomsday peppers? Something like Doomsday castle? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3064818/
Nope, looks like the one in the show was in South Carolina. |

all you would need is a Dillon mini-gun in each tower and it would be easily defendable...lol

What's that little trail/clearing to the right? It's obviously well maintained, but hidden, and doesn't appear to be a shooting range.

I like the defendable position.... ancient concept that is timeless, and baseline badass.
either way, compound is cool as shit. I see no antennas... lacking in the comms dept. just random thoughts...lol does it come with a kegorator? |

There is a legit castle (not a doomsday fort) on Afton mt that you can see from 64 for about 4 seconds.

I'm thinking the structure off to the left is a solar cell array? Bing maps seem to show construction a bit more advanced but resolution is not any better.

Ya, the turrets are a bit different as well. I had the same thought at first, too. Whatever happened? Did they get it done? |

And I then began to ponder if these fellows were on that prepper show. But that was also cleared up earlier in the thread. Neat find!!! |

Sweet. I've told the wife if we ever strike it rich we're building a castle way out back of beyond somewhere.

Everytime I see something like that, I wonder where in my life I made the decision that doesn't get me THAT lifestyle. Roanoke is really nice, but I'm looking more for SW than that. I don't see a pond or spring- water being vital. |

I like those solar panels They are too close to the woods. First thing would be to sneak up there and cut the power. I think the one in Loudoun was purpose built. This one is neat in how you can see the original house it was built around. |
