It's a cool, sorta spooky place, and has a great view of Lake Shannon as well. Anyways, here's some pics. --Todd espressobuzz   |  Re: Concrete Factory <Reply # 1 on 5/29/2006 9:04 PM >   frickin' awesome photos. how did you find it? would I have trouble finding it? is it such a small town that it would be apparent if I just drove there? tizzle  Location: bellingham Gender: Male  |  Re: Concrete Factory <Reply # 2 on 5/29/2006 10:35 PM >   Posted by espressobuzz frickin' awesome photos. how did you find it? would I have trouble finding it? is it such a small town that it would be apparent if I just drove there? thanks, a friend told me about it. this place was actually kind of hard for me to find. While it is a small town, it is off the main road, and down a gravel road with various forks.

No fences to deal with.

Check it out. tizzle  Location: bellingham Gender: Male  |  Re: Concrete Factory <Reply # 6 on 6/2/2006 9:10 PM >   As for directions to the place I showed above. Drive west on Highway 20 from Burlington about 40 min. It's a nice drive. Keep an eye open after you pass the sherriff station, as there is sometimes a heard of elk, in the field on the right, though I always seem to come at the wrong time. Entering Concrete, drive over the bridge, and take a left on Everett. Go straight up onto the narrow paved road which turns to gravel. Here's where I have trouble with directions. Lake Shannon is on your left. There are several roads that will turn down towards it, and one road that ends at a blue gate. That is where I park, and it is a very short walk to the factory from there. The road also wraps around with gates that might allow access directly to the factory, but I don't know which ones. DRIVE CAREFULLY!!!! One of these roads drops several feet suddenly, which I learned the hard way, and there is other traffic. So be carefull, and enjoy! --Todd 0U812  Location: Lubbock, TX Gender: Female Texploration  |  Re: Concrete Factory <Reply # 7 on 6/2/2006 9:12 PM >   Posted by tizzle thanks, a friend told me about it. this place was actually kind of hard for me to find.

I dug up this article which shows some other sites, such as an abandoned school: http://seattletime...01/0701/cover.html I'm going to be heading up there tomorrow morning. Cody.

So it made it hard to get in, it didn't exactly stop us though. Triptych  Gender: Male  |  Re: Concrete Factory <Reply # 15 on 7/1/2006 9:25 PM >   is there other locations up in concrete?
