|  | | | Ok. Picture this, an oil pipe owned by a local factory which runs across a small but deep valley. A meter and a half diameter and about forty meters long. There's a pair of smaller pipes mounted at about hip height above them and can be used as handrails. Obviously it's fun to climb across, even though local mythology has it that kids get killed doing it every summer. If true, they'd fence it off, no?
Anyway. My interest isn't so much the oil pipe but what's on the other SIDE of that oil pipe. Our side of the gully is populated, the other is not. It's a forested area. A few meters below and to the right of the pipeline on the forest side there's a concrete wall built into the valley wall with a typical brown-painted metal door. IT says Govt. of Nfld). So I dont think it's part of the factory's structure. I checked it out, I think I can get in without doing any dammage. But before I do, anyone got any idea what it is or what it's for?
Off topic, I live in a fairly rural area. Drains, natural caves, plus a couple abandoned homes have been all we can find... However theres lots of strange "mini-structures" for example, there are little survey stations on a lot of our streams that look basicaly like outhouses with antennae. I would imagine someone has already done these but what sorts of other things might I look for in an area that doesnt have a lot of impressive structures?

|  | | | Cool, I've been looking for an excuse to post some stream gage pictures. Here's a typical stream gage, for anyone who doesn't know what hazmatspaz and Kbasa are talking about (stream gages can also be made of corrugated metal, or wood):
Here's a view of the inside, showing the battery, encoder, and satlink:
And here's a view looking down into the bottom of the gage (the pipes and rods are for operating valves and flushing the gage intakes):
But about that mystery door... If it's as close to the pipeline as it sounds, I'd imaging that it leads to a room with valves or meters for the pipeline. Any pictures of the pipeline and/or mystery door?

| | | | I'll try to get in sometime next week. If I can afford batteries, I'll try and get a picture of the gully, pipe, and door Tuesday.
Oh! Thanks for the stream monitor info! I think I'll have to explore one later, just to see one for myself and see how it differs from yours.

| | | | Does the pipeline go into the side of the valley, or just up onto the ground on top? There could be a tunnel involved somewhere.
If you can get in without damage then go for it, just watch out for alarms and try not to get arrested 
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

| | | | its an oil pipeline right? so it might leed to a pumping station in the side of the vally to keep the oil flowing. or it might be a heating station to keep the oil from becoming to viscous in the winter.

| | | | Well Hazmatspaz, do you know the history of the area in which you are currently living in? If you do, then the answer to the question is right there. i live in a small town in Oklahoma called Hartshorne. In the late 19th-early 20th century, this place was a mining town, and still is to a certain esxtent. It is also home to a certain baseball legend, Warren Spahn. Research you area's histyory, the businesses that were there at the time, chances are there are still ruins of aome kind still there. As for the small sheds along the streams, they might be there to monitor the water level.
