I was at Fort Custer in Michigan once. That place, as I remember it, had quite a few WWI style trenches throughout, many overgrown. Very dangerous. What surprised me was how deep they were. Originally Camp Custer, it was built to train for WWI and I was told many of the trenches dated to that era. Very run down in the early 80s. Not a fun place.
