| | | Hey guys I'm new to the Urbex Community. Once I found out there was a community of people doing this type of thing, I was very intrigued. Last week I went on my first Urbex expedition, and I went to Forest Haven at night. I did my research on the building, found the best to get into the facility, and my friend and I went. I would prefer to go during the day, especially it's my first time going, but I have a busy schedule and I was available that night. When we cut through the forest we found some random building, I don't know if it was part of the facility. But it was cool nonetheless. We also saw the hanging face mask from the previous explorers, super cool to see something like that. During our expedition, we ran into 3 other groups, and they were loud asf. I thought we were supposed to be sneaky in the facility. One group walked down the main road, kicked rocks, and played music while having their light on. I was so scared when I saw them from a distance because I thought they were guards. I wanted to explore 2 other buildings, but my friend got scared. He promised me we'll come back to explore the admin building and the church. I'll keep you guys updated on that. But I think I'm addicted to that feeling I had while exploring the unknown. I think about that experience everyday ever since I left. I plan on exploring more, and just a heads up. I don't vandalize, I simple document and take photos. I hope maybe one day I'll be able to explore with some experienced explorers so that I can learn to be a better Urbex explorer. PS... I apologize for the lack of pictures and the picture quality. I was lost in the experience, I used my iPhone, and it was at night. Promise I'll take better pics.

| | | Sorry to be a necromancer for this thread, but I was wondering if anyone's been here in the last six months or so... I've done my research as far as parking and approach, all I need to do is make the 5 hour drive. My mindset is I know it's probably pretty close to 'hellhole' status, aware of the usual risks, and I like driving, so doing a long day trip doesn't bother me...but, all I want to know (I realize it's a subjective question) is: is it at all still worth it, or has this site gone completely to sh*t? I'm thinking I'll do a Saturday here soon, I've got plenty of other closer explores, but these old asylums are my favorites; even the ones that are less than pristine (and this one sounds intriguing, but far below pristine). Ayuh, sometimes dead is bettah...as Fred Gwynne once said, but I figured I'd ask before either driving into a crap explore, or not doing it and missing out on a worthy one. Thanks!
