In this episode, I visit Everglades National Park near Homestead, Florida to tour a former Nike Hercules missile system site. From 1962 until 1979, nuclear-armed missiles were stationed in the middle of this breathtaking national park. These surface-to-air missiles were intended for air defense purposes and designed to protect the Miami-Homestead area from a Soviet bomber attack.
