Two Thousand and Freaking Sixteen - My Year End Wrap Up < on 12/15/2016 7:48 PM > | Reply with Quote
Hey Gang,
I'm loving the 2016 wrap up posts and looking forward to seeing all the others to come.
For me, 2016 was more productive than 2015 with more locations visited than any other year. No tickets, no arrests and no (serious) injuries.
I started my year as always by exploring a drain, I made my annual visit to Detroit in May, did a day in Buffalo NY and my annual visit to the Poorhouse, made a return visit to that place with that stained glass dome, hit some places that were fully intact and many that were not, I told a great story about how an explorer made an unexpected friend, I might have seen a ghost, I pretended to see a ghost and I made sure the selfie and crew shot game was strong - even getting my daughter involved.
In total I visited 101 abandoned/vacant places, I had a shit load of laughs with my partner RiddimRyder and I got out with a few other great people, meeting them for the first time, or bumping into others unexpectedly.
I've tried to keep these in order but they're not - I hope you all had a great year with little to no regrets and lots of great times.

Good stuff man. Looks like a rather productive year!

Post by strangePlaces A year well lived and well adventured! Thanks for posting!
Thanks my friend, I'm looking forward to seeing if you do a year end post as I know we don't often get to see what you've explored!!!!
Post by MisUnderstood! Loving to review your Photos! Your work Mesmerizes and Intrigues. Thanks too for bringing you daughter on board this year. You both are Winners!
Thank you ma'am! I always appreciate your comments
Post by Baldran I'm so envious of you guys who can squeeze in so many outings in a year. I really appreciate the variety apparent in your shots.
Thank you, it really was a great year!
Post by mookster Amazing locations and photos as normal. Here's hoping we meet up next year
Personal favourite #15 from the out of order randoms...what a headfuck that is.
Thanks mate, #15 was probably one of my dumbest decisions in terms of safety, I don't know what was holding this one up, knowing that Ground State was out in the car waiting for me was the only reason I decided to venture deeper inside.
Post by Furious D Good stuff man. Looks like a rather productive year!

Damn dude you really had one amazing year! There are some real gems in here. I always love your stuff! I think the best I've ever had was something like 35-40 or so places in a year. I'm extremely jealous! Cheers to 2017 being just as productive! Hit me up if you're ever in the area.

Post by sleeperspirit Great stuff, I really like that casket lift? I am assuming that was on an upper level of a funeral home.
Thanks man, yes that was the attic of a funeral home with coffin storage
