So the PLAN was to travel to White Sulphur Springs and check out the Senate's former super-secret atomic bunker.(FYI: the secret got blown years ago by the Washington Post and now there's tours there, twice a week. Now, like many other Cold War relics, the space is available for "special purpose theme parties".)
But the best laid plan of best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. We couldn't find the thing after driving through town, twice. Me, I'd have a huge flashing neon sign hanging from dirigibles "secret bunker! here!". But this is West Virginia and we don't like showing off.
So the bunker's secrets remain safe. We went to the Greenbrier resort instead.

Are you being sarcastic, or am I being stupid, or both? From your link it looks like the Super Secret Senate Bunker is under the Greenbrier, which is what I recalled also. This is part of why this super-expensive resort sits in the middle of nowhere, no?
Actually:
1) All the locals directed us to some drive nearby, and not at, the Greenbrier. And that was the drive we never found.
2) Greenbrier pre-dates the cold war, by a long long time. We found murals on the walls of the houses of rich folks have a jolly good time frolicking at the 'Brier from the at least 1850. It used to be the escape pod from Washington in summer.
