If you explore in Madison, you've probably been here. Its clearly popular even in winter based on the amount of footprints leading to the entry point.

Kudos to getting in. I think this may be the only building around with all the development happening in Madtown.

Be careful, regardless of the time of day. That place is structurally disintegrating. I've climbed the outside brick wall to the roof. I've climbed interior walls to higher floors. I've walked up the rickety stairs (what's left of them)and stepped out on the top roof, which my foot went through. Floors, roofs, staircases - they're all dangerous in that place. It's a neat little building though. Glad you had fun.

Yup. I know, my phone sucks. And obviously the dark doesnt help. Hopefully Matt will put up his pics; they're probably better than mine...I know he at least tried to take a couple panorama shots. We're going to go back in daylight sometime, but darkness felt safer.

Out back is a great place for a wintery fire!

I met a group of people there one night who do a bike ride once a month and end it back there with beers and a little fire. Cool folks.

Went back in the daylight. Truck pulled up and someone went in the little building next to the mill for a few minutes. No idea what still goes on in that place. We found a lot of areas we missed in the dark. Lots of fun climbing to do.

Well stated
Try to avoid night time exploring unless it's perpetually dark inside in daylight.
Reduced visibility kills. You need good light to help detect hazards.
Predawning it is a safer option, then go hog wild when the sun is out.




Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.
