| | | | I used to work at the plant on Eagle Mountain Lake and know my way around that. I always enjoyed being out there around all that machinery. I understand it's shut down but as I remember, there were at least two security guards there 24/7.

| | | | parkdale was taken offline last year and had only been run during peak hours in the dead of peak season for about 6 years prior. apparently it wasn't very efficient and is responsible for the, ahem, slightly elevated levels of mercury in the parkdale neighborhood.
have you noticed any activity up there? i just got through with a long job and am taking a little down time (finally!)
reality is the fine line between paranoia and denial |

no visible activity
there was the ubiquitous white pick up parked in front of an office building and lots of lights on in different places
dome camera on a post by front gate
side gates locked/overgrown with brush
bridge over creek closed making access through a neighborhood only
there was steam coming from the plant last winter

Seaholm Power Plant.
I got in there one time without really even planning it out. Very, very cool place with 3 underground levels and lots of stuff in the 2 or 3 floors above ground. No machinery left though. They were cleaning the place up for future use when I was there. As we were leaving, we spotted the security guard that we didn't know was there. Kinda freaked me out a bit but since we were already outside the fence, he probably didn't have any idea that we were even in there.
