The Banana Hotel

Took a tour of this legendary abandonment.

Temperatures that day were hovering around 105°, and the crew was soaked in sweat. I especially hate heat, so my pictures turned out less than spectacular... Oh well, a super fun explore!

Entry was gained via the roof by use of a hot air balloon (Docked behind camera view in previous picture).

Full set of mediocre pictures can be found at the link in my signature or on my flickr.

What is the difference between exploring and being lost?"

My first trip there was my first real explore. I was all alone. I jumped in a window and it took a while to get my composure. I was scared as shit for the first hour I was there. But as soon as I hit the ground that morning, I set up my tripod and shot that fucking piano.

I was there too. It was nice to be able to finally tackle the building we have wanted to go in since we began urban exploring. Here are a few of my pictures.

ill never understand why people post their own photos of the same place in someone elses thread...tacky.

in other news, first time im seeing the boiler room. when we were there it was way flooded, did the water level drop and/or did you come prepared with boots or something?

I was with AugustusUrbex on the same trip. We decided it was better to post all of our photos in the same thread instead of making new ones. Sorry, I should have said that in my original post.

Really not much to it. Its mostly cleaned out aside from the elevator motors and pulleys.

Halrom, Paskaan, and I all go together so we always post out pictures of the same place in the same thread.
Also, the basement has been mostly drained. It is entirely dry except for the boiler area, which is a step down from the rest of the basement, and may have another lower level below it (The boiler area floor is metal, and there is stuff below it)

If you read the thread, you will see that the three of us always explore together, and that we always have and always do post all of our pictures in the same thread. Or would you rather see three separate threads named "Banana Hotel 1, 2, and 3" posted on the forum the same day?
