| | | Exhibit A Main room. This was a water treatment facility pump station. You might be able to see the shafts completely seals with steel plates. In the side room next to some kind of sifting machine. These gears appeared to open a sluice gate some 30 ft below us. We didn't fuck with it. Complicated system that I wish I could really appreciate Second floor with steep ladder. Housed some more electrical equipment. Opened one of the doors that faced to the outside (not visible as it is covered by welded steel plates) Needless to say, we left shortly after we saw this sign. Though our visit was at least 45 minutes. Bonus exploring a facility abandoned in 06 Due to the flooded basement there was an unreal amount of fungus and moisture inside. Some rooms has thick air. We didn't stay long as we didn't have any respirators except a thick cloth over our mouths.

| | | Posted by Technomancer Looks like a good outing. Exhibit A has changed dramatically in the last couple years. Looks like they cleared out some of the fallen trees when they put up the plates. How was the water level in the lower stairwell? There used to be this sign on the exterior, you may recognize it from my avatar. https://farm1.stat...0_507134e664_c.jpg Used to look a little more organized in there as well. https://farm4.stat...3_77cd6ae407_c.jpg Those last two shots from the same general location?
| That's awesome to see. I instantly recognized the sign (its still there) from your avatar pic. Guess its memorable. The lower level was totally flooded. No idea how deep it was as the ladder down looked very rusty. Looked more like a maintenance shaft than a floor. Yep, the last two shots are from the same general area.

And therein, as the bard would tell us, lies the rub.

I just realized in your picture that there is a stairwell with the yellow railing! There was no way to get down there as there was a large steel plate sealing the way down. I might need to go back to see if I can get in!

Bruh you gotta learn to multi quote. Lol Posted by Technomancer That stairwell has been flooded out since the first time I visited that site a couple years ago. Makes sense they'd seal it up I guess. We tried making a visit there during times of low river levels and found it more flooded than previously!

I think this place, like many, just deteriorated over time. Kinda like MagCan. Probably amazing ten years ago (though with fewer nat gas turbines). Partially due to natural forces (rust, flooding), partially due to heavy explorer / graffiti etc. traffic. Which then leads to more fences, motion sensors, locks, and welded plates, if the land owners care at all any more.
