| | | 18th Birthday Trip, Asylum Style (lots of pics) < on 4/23/2015 6:51 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | My birthday isn't until tomorrow, but it will have been prefaced by an awesome trip south this past weekend. All kinds of abandonments interest me (especially larger ones out of state), but a big sprawling mental hospital has always been my "dream location", one that in my younger years, I only got to see in movies like "Session 9" and out the car window. Now that I'm more active, I feel lucky to live not too far from places like this, and extremely grateful to finally explore a couple for myself. We made the most of our first day, spending about ten hours at a massive hospital in a gorgeous setting. Despite the amount of ground we covered, there's still a lot that we didn't have time to see. Special thanks to KPPC2013 and Punchy (via EsseXploreR) for giving helpful advice! A few of the pics are a little grainy, but oh well. Enjoy! Laboratory Boarded but Bright Wilted Passage Shell Exposed View Arches Book of Songs (this one came out way blurry, but I liked the composition) Balcony Seats After a few hours in and around the Kirkbride, we had lunch on a roof with a magnificent view: Color Coded Library Sunbathed And a couple lonely chairs for good measure: The next day, we hit up another facility, this one partially active. My mother/exploration partner for the trip was uncomfortable with the amount of security there, so I went at this one alone while she walked around the grounds. While searching for a couple specific locations within the campus, I hit a dead end in the tunnels and got totally turned around. After I made my exit and strolled about for a while innocently taking exterior photos, we decided to check out our backup location. Round 2 a couple days later went much more smoothly. Vines Six Seater Rolling Patriot Wild Things Lowrider Left Behind Happy Place Draw the Curtain Maintenance Waiting Room Lost in the Maze I definitely had a fantastic time during this trip, and can't wait to have another go at these beautiful locations.

| | | Posted by anatonic Looks like you had a great birthday weekend. I was actually there with a few friends the same day you were at your second location, made a pitstop to take a quick nap there after a long day at another facility starting at 3am. Ended up briefly speaking with your mother while you were still inside, then later saw the cops speaking with the two of you. Hopefully that went over well ;)
| That's funny, when we met back up I remember her saying that she had spoken to a couple people who mentioned that the cops there didn't mess around when it came to arresting trespassers. Thankfully, I think what you saw was an amiable exchange . Nice to (extremely indirectly) meet you! Your mother is your exploring partner - I LOVE IT! When I started this hobby as a young teenager my Grandmother used to take me to my explores. It's an odd way to bond, but it works. | Haha yeah, it is a unique bonding experience, but like you said, it works . As much as I like exploring with friends or alone, I feel lucky to have parents who are willing to do this type of thing with me.
