We're planing on stopping to check it out. anyone know anything about it? or anyone want to meet up and take us through? i hope it doesnt sound like im looking for handouts, i just want to take advantage of this road trip. thanks. http://www.greatlakesurbanex.com

	The asylum is indeed there, but it is in a BAD neighborhood. Next door neighbors are bikers with a bad attitude.; It looks like a cool spot, but I have never been able to get up the balls to do it. Good luck man. Let us know how it went. I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

	Jons, Is there, or was there an "abandoned" used car lot next to it that the bikers use/used? GV

	At least. They used to be locals. I think they are Banditos or Huns now. I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses."

	I can't believe I missed that thread Geo! That may be the place. I don't remember it being a YMCA or YWCA, but thats been a long time. Sure in the right area.

A loooong time ago. Yeah, they were local bikers(no colors), and the prez,sgt at arms, tres. and a few others were using the offices at the car lot for special guests. We got to stay there for a few nights, they kicked us to the "asylum", when the special guests showed up. All in all, we had a blast while we were there.
Albuquerque had 4 soup kitchens at the time, not counting salvation armani. If you timed it right, you could eat like a king! Heh, even the bernardillilo(sp?)county detention facility had awesome food, you could keep going back for more until it was gone! Oh yay..the college had some freaky chicks too...they were all doing gypsen seeds and mesc.
Ahhhh...good times!
GV
Ps. never never never eat the seeds!

	Im willing to drive out from socal to see that place, if its cool. Bikers are usually cool, especially now a days if you know how to respect them. An armed society, is a polite society. So lets get to it!

	I've been in it recently, had a small conversation with Jonsered about it right before we did it. It's nothing wild. I certainly wouldn't drive out from SoCal for it!! Didn't see any bikers either.

	that story about the Edith/Osuna asylum being guarded by psycho bikers and their rottwier is a bunch of BS!! i've been hearing that for years and no one has ever been able to prove or confirm it. It's a made up rumor designed to ward off vandals and squatters.

I wasn't a press appearance. i was outdoors, on the road, and they were kind enough to give us somewhere to stay.

	I have met them as well. It isn't quite as bad as some websites make it out to be, but definitely present. I have changed my personal exploring ethics code.

i was just joking about that...when you meet someone who's the object of local myth and legend it's hard to pass up...I'm glad everything went ok for you and i suppose it's not complete bs. How ever something just didn't add from what these other web sites where saying. On my own personal experiences there, i never was chased by bikers or a rottwieler and i spent a lot of time casing the place too. But i never did make it inside either. I was chased from a place along the canals about a half mile north of the asylum, i don't think they where bikers though. More like old people riding around in SUVs. If your ever in Albuquerque again, there are a lot of sites up and down Edith, but you have to look hard for them.
