Californian Man Leases Gigantic Caves to Save the Human Race

As World War Z, After Earth, Oblivion, and other post-apocalyptic films flooded the movie market this year, it’s time to make preparations for the inevitable.  Alien invasions, flesh-eating zombies, and other catastrophes provably await us, so why not pick a place to survive the collapse of civilization.  The good news is that the U.S. military has already built such places for some of humanity to hide out, and remain safe from the carnage that will engulf the planet.  Sanctuary rests with caves. According to Yahoo! on June 21, the caves are being marketed by one man, who shares the belief that they would make fine bunkers survive the end of the world.  They seem quite comfortable:

The weather is a constant 70 degrees F, and it never rains. The surrounding areas are ensconced in rolling hills and a lush cropping of trees. No, it’s not an advertisement for retirement property in Florida. It’s actually the description of a giant cave carved in limestone that one man thinks would be the ideal community setting after the world ends. “I do believe I am on a mission and doing a spiritual thing,” Robert Vicino said in an interview with the Associated Press. “We will certainly be part of the genesis.” The land in question formerly served as a U.S. Army storage facility located in eastern Kansas. Local Missouri investor Coby Cullins bought the property from the government for $510,000 back in April. He then sold 75 percent of the land to Vicino, who plans to lease space to prospective post-apocalyptic residents, entitled Vivos Survival Shelter & Resort. For those who want to purchase space in the underground dwelling, Vicino says they will be required to pay $1,000 for every square foot of space, along with $1,500 for access to a year’s supply of food. Altogether, Vicino says he has some 2 million square feet of space available. On his website, Vicino says the location could save the lives of “nearly 1 in every 1 million people on Earth.”

Sounds good to us.
