Couldn't find a non-archived thread, so here's a new thread. These are some grain storage silos next to the water for transporting and storing grain. They were pretty low-key to get into, but there was a security guard who would periodically drive around in an unmarked car, but not get out. Our timing was good, so we were inside by the time he drove by. We really tried to get to the top, but of the three staircases, the first floors were totally destroyed. We saw some possibilities for getting up the staircases, but all of them would have been super sketch. Anybody done this recently?
01: Upon Arrival
02: First Pano after getting inside:
03: A drain for a silo. The last grain silos I went into were in Northen California and they had machinery and conveyor belts connecting to the silo drains. It was cool to be able to see up inside of it.
04: Pano centered on a rail car for collecting grain:
05: Pano of the collapsing outside facade:
06: I have a hard enough time sneaking into places while dodging security, but somehow people were able to sneak in shopping carts - at least three different times before sinking them all here:
07: Hard to see, but the vertical metal beam in this photo is actually the old stairs, which collapsed and are hanging by a bent rusty bit of metal. They were completely vertical and maybe could be used as a ladder, but I was too sketched out to try it:
08: The far side of the grain collecting rail car:
09: These ladders were extremely rusted, and connected to the wall by thin rusty pegs. Nothx.
10: Upstairs room:
11: Outside, inside, pano:
12: Cool staircase hardware:
13: Wish I could get to the top - maybe I'll come back in the future when I'm feeling more daring:
