 |  | Trip to Great Western Sugar Mill. Longmont
< on 6/5/2011 1:15 AM >
|  | | | Just a brief trip to the Longmont Sugar Mill earlier today with fire144 and Geneboy. Thought I would post up pictures from our 'splore. On the back side of the building we came across what looked like the corpse of a small dog who had been covered in plaster or something, poor thing. Also, was a little sketched out to see what looked like an active hobo nest. Just glad we didn't run into anyone. 1.

Haha, I'm writing a paper on women's rights.

| | | | Nice Shots! I'm surprised you didn't get stopped, being there in the middle of the day...Every time I've been there, I've looked for someone in that Squatter area, and I've never seen anyone. It's sketchy though!

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

| | | | These are awesome pictures, and there are squatters here? That's awesome. I mean, terrifying for us, but I like the idea of these buildings being used for something. I wouldn't expect anyone to live in any of the places I've explored though, most of it seems uninhabitable.

| | | | Insertnamehere- Thank you for the positive encouragement! =) Yeah I was also surprised we didn't get stopped.... we had a group of 8 people with us... half of which had never been inside anything like that before. Just a little sketchy.
Miirkat- Thanks! I tried to get a few "artsy" pictures with the little digital pocket camera I had. I would assume there were squatters here just by the fact that one of the rooms looked like a designated "hobo nest" It didn't look like it had been there for too terribly long. Just awaiting the return of some smelly homeless dude. Yeah It's nice that they are being used for something, other than awesome photo opportunities and bored UER members;)

| | | | There used to be a couple Hobo camps there but that was a long time ago. Place has been sealed up since last January- used to be able to stroll right in the front door and even the Western Sugar workers next door didn't mind folks poking around. That seems to have changed, judging by the barbed wire and copious amount of signs. There's active scrapping going on- the yellow crane out back is new and quite a bit of equipment near the Lime Kilns has been removed. I guarantee there's no-one living there but do watch out for owners/scrappers.

| | | | Does look like the place has been broken into again. Tried to go a while ago and could not find a way in. They had just sealed the building. I had a feeling it would not last very long!

| | | | There certainly was some scrapping going on. I have to think it was with owners consent though because they were scraping steel. lots and lots of steal, chopping up large pieces of machinery with cutting torches and leaving some of their less expensive equipment just laying around (shovels, measuring devices, face shields, etc). Since we are talking tons of steel it hard to scrap that without being obvious and having permission.
