Mount Weather

The Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center is a location featured in The 100. It is a US military base, and underground bunker designed in the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the eastern United States of America, on Earth. It was constructed to house senior US officials in the event of a nuclear war. Mount Weather was the intended dropping point for the 100, but they were unable to travel there as the territory was guarded by a faction of grounders.

History and background
The Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center (A.K.A) the High Point Special Facility, is a real US government civilian command facility located in the Blue Ridge Mountains—near Bluemont, Virginia, on the border between Loudon and Clark counties—about 40 miles from Washington, D.C.

Throughout the series
In Pilot Mount Weather was mentioned at the targeted drop-side for the exodus ship of the 100.Chancellor Jaha informs the 100 through video about this. He explains it was a military camp in the past, and that is is stocked with supplies for 300 people good for 2 years. He says they should find the supplies immediately. Clarke, Finn, Jasper, Monty and Octavia go on a journey to the mountain. Wells asks to come but while his leg was still broken the group suggested he shouldn't have. When they reach Mount Weather, there is a river blocking their path. When Clarke looks at her map it shows that there is no river. The group still decides to make a rope from branches and cross it. Jasper goes first and lands on the other side. He finds a roughed up piece of steel, reading the words Mount Weather. After holding it up and cheering he his struck in the chest by a Grounder hiding in the shrubs, and is then thought to be dead by his friend.

In Earth Skills the Grounders take Jasper because he crossed the boundary to Mount Weather, namely the river. Mount Weather is then considered territory of the Grounders. The group rescues Jasper and decides to stay away from the Mountain.

In We Are Grounders (Part 2) Clarke wakes up after being knocked out by gas, she wakes up and realizes she is in some type of ward and she has an IV in her arm. She frantically looks around before seeing Monty in the room opposites her and begins shaking the door handle. While doing this she notices a sign that says Mount Weather Quarantine, and Clarke realizes where they are.

Notes and Trivia

 * The real Mount Weather was filmed for aireal views of the facility. The inside is not resembling the inside in the real world; most of the interior of the real Mount Weather is unknown to the general public.


 * There are similarities between the Mountain Men and "The Enclave" faction from the Fallout series.It is also set generations after a nuclear war devastated most of the Earth's surface.
 * They are descended from politicians, elite military units, and other powerful men (the "military-industrial complex") who survived the nuclear war by hiding in the nation's most advanced bunker complexes.
 * They still have access to pre-nuclear war technology, making them one of the most dangerous factions in the post-nuclear world.
 * On the other hand, the Enclave doesn't consider any non-Enclave members to be "human" anymore (even those who are not severely mutated), and therefore wants to eradicate all of them so that "pure" humanity (the Enclave) can retake the surface of the planet.
