|  | | | Me, my sister, and one of her friends took a trip today. This place was wayyy larger than I expected. Abandon since the mid 80's this chemical plant was national superfund site. Well not completely abandon... There is a nearby water treatment plant that we tried to avoid. Upon leaving there was a vehicle that almost spotted us, but a quick sprint and a dive behind some brush allowed us to hide from view. It had 3 levels to explore and a roof. Very easy to get around it and very minimal amount of vandalism for being so old. 1 mile hike through the woods, one short barbed wire fence, and tall one that was open. We decided to just walk out the front door and down the road about 3 miles to the car on the way back instead of back through the woods. I couldn't recommend that as a way to get there though. Trip on the 20th of November for anyone near Huntsville, AL. I'll be putting it on the event calendar soon.

| | | | I like the glowing door shot - perfectly creepy for a Halloween post. Cool to find the old paperwork and blueprints, yea?
Also, please number and/or title your images so we can refer to them more easily!

| | | | I think they were schematics, but I couldn't figure out what for. Didn't spend much time trying though. There was just too much exploring to do.
I'll number them right now.

That's not a bad problem to have! Finding schematics like that is my favorite sort of "jackpot!" moment, but to each their own.

| | | | Loved the B&W. Those pitch dark interiors are hard to photograph. Green room was insane, looks radioactive. Was that green corrugated fiberglass sheeting for windows? 29/30 make me feel good, Thanks.

You would have loved this place. Four foot tall cabinet full of them!

Yup, that green plastic stuff. We thought we had been everywhere (a little bit of a maze inside) and then we walked by this glowing green room, WTF? lol.
