My afternoon with Atomic Annie

[dvandom]

Overlooking I-70 on the way to Junction City is an old piece of artillery that was only in active service for a couple of years, and was never used in combat...thankfully. Atomic Annie, a towed artillery designed to lob nuclear bombs up to 20 miles away in a hypothetical European conflict. Today, I finally remembered to bring along a camera on a day I deemed nice enough for a climb uphill, and took some pictures. Given the somewhat slower load times on dvandom.com these days (due to massive pingspam from porn sites, as mentioned earlier), here's just links:
