First time UER meetup/explore!
< on 6/4/2013 1:50 AM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
This is the first time I have ever met up with anyone from this site. I had the pleasure of exploring with Hootie, and Punchy. We had a rather eventful day, we got two explore two abandoned mills, a school, an old motor lodge, and we discovered a few places weren't so abandoned. I can't wait to meet up with this guy and gal again, and I'm looking forward to meeting many more of you.

Always interesting to see the same place through another person's lens! I never even saw half of what you captured! Love it...I'm ready to hit the road again soon! Would be great if we could cover that much territory again next go round...

Nice collection. Looks like you guys had a solid day of exploring.

If you do another meetup, I'd be interested in joining.

Wow...what an awesome day for you all! I really like 5,6,8, and 18.

Any stories about the places that weren't so abandoned?

NICE set of pics. I swear, I never even saw some of the things you shot, but then again, we saw so much stuff that day that it's hard to remember everything. Had a blast checking out those spots with you, and yes, we'll do it again sometime.

I still can't wait to see what you took that day sir.

Thank you! Sadly no, just places that are still active that appeared abandoned on Google Maps.

One of those spots looks familiar. This place?

And no, I didn't try the slide, either. Love the pics, excellent work.

Nope. I saw the one further down the tracks (facing the opposite direction of the pic in my comment), but this was just a scheduled side trip on my way to somewhere else. I only had an hour or so to give it a quick walkthrough. Looks like you had time to give it the full treatment, though.

I like the exposure and contrast, especially the closeups. Great work. I would love to visit more than 1 place when I go out!

show me your peeling paint and I will love you forever

Here's a few more shots from that day. Yeah, yeah, I know it was two weeks ago. Better late than never...

1.
Mill #1. Pretty sure crownand and I were standing right next to each other when we shot our exterior shots, but here's what it looks like in color.


2.
Mostly trashed and empty, although there was some interesting stuff here and there. This is the first floor.


3.
Possibly my favorite part--the power plant at the back of the building.


4.
2nd floor.


5.
3rd floor.


6.
Off to mill #2, which is pretty much right next door to mill #1, although we had to cross a huge open area where a big chunk of mill #2 once stood before being torn down.


7.
My take on the chute.


8.
Possibly the craziest thing we saw all day. It looked like the entire contents of a dentist's office had been dumped here.


9.


10.


11.
We saw lots of calendars, and every single one of them was from 1996.


12.
We actually went to two schools, although the first one was just a burned out shell. This is from school #2.


13.


All in all, it was one kick ass day. crownand and hootie, we will definitely do it again.

About time is right! Hah. Nice to see your pictures from that day Punchy. I enjoy all of your shots, and appreciate the "wide open" shots you enjoy taking. Hopefully through your busy summer schedule we can go out another day.

Looked over that second set of pics and it seems like someone has been in there between you and me. Apologies for the crappy picture, but you can compare it with your #8:



It may just be the angle of your pic, but some of the stuff seems to be missing or in different places.

I think it's all still there, just moved around a little. That second chair was there but had been knocked over and was laying on its side.
