Entertaining article. Now I want to buy a Land Rover so I can have the same kinds of adventures exploring old submarine bases!

Last year I finished driving from Alaska to Argentina in a Jeep...

What did you do for the Darién Gap? :)

I loaded my Jeep into a shipping container and had it shipped from Colon (Panama) to Cartagena (Colombia). I flew.

I documented the whole process in great detail so others can do the same: http://theroadchoseme.com/shipping-across-the-darien-gap-pt-...

How do you afford this?
Re:Driving Inside the Soviets’ Secret Submarine Lair by grecy on Wednesday April 04, 2012 @07:57PM (#3800546)
I saved every penny I had for 2 years working as a Software Engineer. During the trip I freelanced a little, managed a hostel for 5 months, and wound up with the balance on my credit card.

I've just finished paying off my Credit Card, so have started saving for the next one. I work full time and am just about to start my 2nd and 3rd concurrent jobs.

Why do you need a land rover? It's located practically within the city.

You just get a trip there and that's what you do. Or you can hike.

There's also an out-of-service submarine base in montenegro, and you would not need land rover either since it's on island.

Balaklava is a nice place btw, didn't visit the museum but liked the town.

it's a land rover advert though, isn't it. they also sponsor the video.

Nice for them, but you can't live in an advert. You don't buy a land rover to go exploring (there was this case when it proved suboptimal), you get it to commute - sadly.

http://maps.yandex.ru/-/CJxiqPKM Here it goes I guess. Sadly the crane blocks the view on the submarine entrance.
