Bunker Devil, United States

From series “Famous Abandoned Military Bases and Forts”
Year: 1930.

On the coast of San Mateo County in California is a bunker with a cruel name Devil's Slide. The bunker was named in honour of the rock of the same name. The secret object was built on the coast in 1930. Originally, it served as a center of military technology development. For many years, the location of the bunker was kept secret. During the Second World War the bunker was used as an observation point. At that time, the soldiers who were guarding it had only used the simplest devices - a compass and binoculars for observing ship navigation. Later, the monitoring point was equipped with a radar system.

After several years, Devil’s Slide lost its original meaning and was abandoned like many other military projects. It is known that the former facility was sold in 1983 to a private individual. The buyer did not want to call himself. Some structures of the bunker have been preserved and can be visited today. It must be mentioned that the Cape of the Devil is incredibly beautiful. The azure sea looks magical on the background of sheer cliffs. This area is popular with nature lovers as well as those who are interested in history and military attractions.

One of these is the festival, which marks the onset of spring. This is, of course, the colorful event Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, which usually takes place in mid-April. The fest lasts, as a rule, for a week, during which tourists can see the beautiful procession in traditional Japanese costumes, attend master classes in ikebana (the art of flower arrangement) and calligraphy, and, of course, enjoy the tea ceremony.
