Another Outing in Urban Exploration

While this trip was not nearly as organized as our first outing last year, we still managed to visit quite a few interesting places. I have to say I'm impressed with our skills: we just took a vague description of the abandoned facility and very unclear directions as where they could be - and found them. Keep in mind, we have GPS capabilities but can't really use them. You can't pop in the address of an abandoned facility and be expected to have your hand held to the destination. No, you need to look at maps. It's off a road off of highway 28? Where is that? GPS can't really help. So, we get to the general area where say - an abandoned house - is and where do you go from there? It takes a keen eye to see through thick brush and around trees and spot the roofline or boarded up windows that mark our real destination.

Thankfully we had it all together the other weekend and not only found a few places, but were able to go inside. Below are a few images of our adventure, and a slideshow of the full gallery (click on the slideshow to get the full deal).
