Here's a good example of an explore where the risk-to-reward ratio may have been a little uneven. This little farm sits in the middle of a cow pasture, well away from any roads and with the only driveway leading right past the active residence. Getting to it required me to shimmy under an electrified livestock fence and walk about half a mile through the pasture, with portions of the walk in the direct line of sight of surrounding houses. It turned out that the cows on the property had recently calved - right next to this house. I'm not entirely sure of the situation in this part of the country, but I know that out west, approaching a rancher's cattle is a huge no-no. Nevertheless, the exploration continued, but despite the antique furnishings and building methods, and the all-natural decay which we all love so much, there wasn't anything particularly special about this place that made it worth the effort of getting to it. I've known about this place for a good four years now, and I'm glad that I could cross it off my list, but I still shudder to think what could have happened if an irate cattleman had rolled up as I was inside. Was it worth it? You be the judge.
