Atomic Fallout Shelter

We haven't had internet access for the past week and I have no time to update!  We are in Ohio and wishing the winds were in our favor.

Yesterday we officially entered the midwest.  We are in farm country and passed by the strangest sight yesterday.  A house here in the country had a contraption in the backyard, big metal tubes that connected to the ground.  A large sign in front identified it as being an atomic fallout shelter.  I wonder how many people stopped to ask about it before they put up the sign.  Who designed it and does it work?  Are they fearful of an attack or is it leftover from the past?  Do they keep it stocked?  Would they let us in if we needed shelter?  I am so disappointed  we didn't get a picture of it.  Headwinds.  Uggh.
