My friend and I recently explored an abandoned castle on the side of a mountain. pretty cool, lots of history to it. Unfortunately, city police are beginning to patrol and have put security cameras in1.

Interesting... Any idea on the history? It looks like someone is doing new construction there.

Word was that the steepness of the driveway can't pass newer city code.

I may have figured out how to bypass the gate and driven up there a few times. I may have spent special Valentines time up there too.

Looks like they've now dug out the "secret dungeon."

OMG! This is right near me. I've walked past this a couple times if it's the one I think it is! I totally wanna get in!

This really peaked my interest. Did some searching and found this article talking about the castle. Gives some good background on the place.

I've regularly visited this place for the last two years. Currently it's still being remodeled. It's fairly easy to get in though they're starting to ramp up security. To my knowledge, there is a motion activated light and a camera. There's occasionally a guard but I've only seen a car once. Sadly every time I go it seems more graffiti pops up. Hopefully people don't ruin the spot for everyone else. If you're interested,lemme know. Always like showing off this place.
