From Radar to Ruins: Exploring a Cold War Era Base in Trinidad
To celebrate reaching 15K subs, we're releasing some videos that were previously Members Only! Some of you may have been lucky enough to see this one before as there was a glitch the first time it went up (My bad!😅), but if you can hit the LIKE button again we'd appreciate it 🙌

Located at the top of a steep hill past the Bamboo Cathedral, this Cold War era facility overlooks the Caribbean Sea. Built in Trinidad by the American military, it's spread across two levels cut into the top of the hillside. The higher level has the ruins of an immense dish, while the lower section is a huge, abandoned building complex. As an abandoned military station, it makes for some unique urban exploring.
If you're in Trinidad and want to check out the Tracking Station it's best to do it sooner rather than later! Even since this video was filmed more of the main roof has collapsed, and we suspect the dish itself may not have many years left.
