Contact
I made contact with Mr. Porter. He is the Head Mechanic at the Nike Missile Site. I was not able to make it out to the site, because Mr. Porter was not going to be back on site until this thursday. I hope this does not screw up the schedule.

Class today
This weeks class was very insightful we discussed personnas and did experience mapping. These are new to me, but I found them to be interesting. I found that bringing our computers to class added something new to the classroom experience. I look forward to the development of my work in preparation for next weeks class!

Nike Missile Site
Welcome to SF-88!
An educational Cold War museum in the heart of GGNRA
During the tense years from 1953 to 1979, the United States Army built and operated a total of 280 Nike missile firing batteries in the United States. These missile sites were emplaced as the last line of defense against Soviet bombers. Today, a dedicated group of volunteers works in partnership with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on the continuous task of restoration at site SF-88, which has been turned into a museum. This valuable historical resource is the only restored Nike missile site in the entire country. It's a great chance for you to see the tools of the Cold War up close.
You can visit SF-88 during the week, Wednesday through Friday, 12:30 to 3:30. A guided walk begins from the Testing and Assembly Building every half hour, with the last tour leaving at 3 p.m. On the guided walk you will be able to see the tools of the Cold War up close, and it includes an amazing trip down the missile elevator into the underground storage area.
On the first Saturday of every month we hold an open house, where docents—some of them Nike veterans—tell stories about real life experience at Nike missile sites.
Visiting SF-88
SF-88 is open for visiting from Wednesday to Friday of every week as well as the first Saturday of every month. Visiting hours are from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. The site is closed during wet weather for your safety. During the week, our site manager John leads periodic tours of the RADAR vans, the fueling area and the missile magazine. During the first Saturday of every month we have an open house with volunteers and Nike Veterans interpreting each of the areas on the base. We also have protection dog demonstrations during some open houses.
