Exploring whiskey distillery in PA

Hello all
First post, this trip was certainly the most interesting explore for me and my friend yet.
I am certainly not a photographer, and all these shots were taken on a pixel 3.

1. This park has around 25 large buildings, so sadly me and my friend were unable to explore all of them.


2. There are two water towers in this facility, both incredibly rusted, so we didn't climb them, however they are climbable.


3. Here is a shot from the roof of one of the buildings, the place has been closed since the 80's so the building are incredibly overgrown and a lot are falling apart.

4.


5. Lonely toilet in the middle of the room. Didn't get to close for fear of asbestos and rancid shit.


6. My favorite shot of my friend, climbing an overgrown stairwell.


7. Interestingly we only found stalagmite in one building, crazy to see the buildings turn into cave like structures.


8. This shot shows more of the compound, with the nuclear power plant churning away in the horizon.


9. Thanks to whoever rigged this up, the rope tied to the rusted forklift is used to climb up and over the wall to get in.


10. This final shot shows thousands of red caps, scattered across the ground. I assume were used to bottle whiskey.

This facility originally distilled whiskey, but also expanded to produce cleaning products. Tucked away, deep in the woods, in the middle of nowhere, this huge industrial park sits.

Thanks for checking out my post, if you are interested in higher res images I uploaded them to imgur https://imgur.com/a/T7mZVfV

Fun place.
They built those bonded warehouses well.
The only place I saw asbestos there was in the long gone distillery.
That looks like fiberglass insulation in the pic.
Breathing in dust from the bird or rodent droppings can make you quit ill if pathogen is present... so a paper mask for that isn't a bad idea.




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

Welcome to UER, this is a great first post. Looks like a fun explore...I love pic 8!
Earlier this year I was in an old school, and saw some stalactites on the ceiling in a few rooms...my first thought was 'asbestos icicles'. I found out later (courtesy of Google) that they are called calthemites; essentially the same as stalactites, they are secondary deposits of calcium, lime, and mortar that occur outside of a cave environment. Here's a pic of the ones I found...

Thanks for sharing, and happy exploring!

Hey, friend here! This trip was definitely my favorite so far, definitely worth the drive and the PA turnpike tolls. We are not photographers, and we used our phones to take pics but I'm satisfied with the way they turned out. As for the masks, asbestos wasn't my main concern when entering the buildings, however as those who are familiar with the location know, some of those buildings were used to manufacture cleaners and anti-freeze during the last years of the facility. In one building we entered there appeared to be old bottles of antifreeze and the contents have been burned or otherwise tampered with. The air smelled like chemicals and we assumed that couldn't be good for our lungs so thank god I brought them lol. As well as the overall dampness of the buildings produced the possibility of mold, trust me it was not fun wearing those masks on a 90 degree, humid day

2. One of my favorite pictures, a chair was forcefully pinned in to a wall so hard that it was just hanging there

sorry if the pictures are lower quality I had to crop them because I took them portrait
