| | | I'm in the area, and still explore on most weekends. However, I fly solo and have no interest in sharing anymore. Sorry. But Aran is right - although not very dense, especially outside of downtown MKE, there is still lots cool stuff to see. Abandoned rail beds, bridges, and even at least 2 not publicly known rails tunnels all exist. There are few left, but there are mines. Forgotten planes, trains, and junk yards. Empty factories scattered about the state in both big and small towns. Nike sites. Smaller military installations. Farmsteads galore. Even some, albeit mostly unimpressive, ghost town and asylum ruins. Work the Google machine and drive the back roads. Hike the Ice Age Trail. You'll find plenty on your own with patience, some without even trying. If I can find them, anyone can. Don't forget the UP as well....

| If abandoned farmsteads and houses are common, I'm happy with that. A lot of my friends are more "urban" and like to see the big factories and other stuff associated with a city. But personally I like the country, and the eeriness that comes with places where people used to live intrigue me, especially with my photography interests. If I due longer excursions I feel like the Northwoods is a good spot for something like that, as just driving through the country roads I'd see decrepit houses in the woods and there's probably a lot more hiding out there, especially in the Upper Peninsula. I'm grateful for your advice and happy to hear that there are some folks simply in the area, Thank you.

| | | Yes. There is stuff in the Kettles, south and north. Even in the state forest itself. Governor Dodge, Chequamegon-Nicolet, Rib Mountain, High Cliff. And all around Lake Winnebago. And between Winnebago and GB. And in GB. And Door County. And Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, UP, Peshtigo, Marinette, Baraboo. Along the Michigan, Superior, and Mississippi shorelines. If you are into houses and farmsteads, like I said, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Just get out and drive man, stay off the freeway, and I promise you will find them... No one is going to tell you where they are.

| Alright, will do. I'm very excited to get out and do this and I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures. Thank you very much!!

| I went out last night into the country and found a few possible places to explore. One thing I'm wondering about is where to park my car in order not to be super obvious to other people driving the roads and possible neighbors. I know this heavily depends on the specifics of the location, but what are some good tips in order to not be blatantly suspicious. I also plan to do a lot of this at night, which may help conceal my car.

City got $15m approved to raze it, however the owners Black Spruce still have the raze order in appeals. In the meantime, they are still getting fined daily for failure to secure the property and have put it up for sale for $2m. However if there were to be a sale, the next owner would still be facing the raze order. I am betting it will be gone in 2024....
| I'm not so sure. I've heard rumors that it's owned by an overseas investing firm that may be attempting to use it to drive down the property value of the surrounding neighborhoods so it can perform a cheap land grab before redeveloping everything. Whether that long term profit is worth the short term hassle is up in the air though. Posted by jonrev Other side of the cheese curtain here, but I go north periodically... mostly for the corpse of Northridge. Lot of the older MKE stuff I knew of has been redeveloped or demoed.
| I haven't been to Milwaukee in a while but unless things have changed significantly, the Third Ward/railyard area ought to have some good industrial stuff. Hell, the railyard alone is like Mill Hell if it had an active yard running through it- for derelict buildings there's at least four mills, two bridges, a tannery, a brewery, two factories, two warehouses, and an abandoned steam network within half a mile of the yard. I used to spend hours wandering around there back when I lived in Wisconsin.
