anyone know of anything in Cali or Oregon? Both ghost towns or abandoned buildings? I'm heading to California this weekend and would love to go exploring.

Lime oregon is interesting, but it's almost to Idaho on the east side of the state.




If i also recall correctly there is a hot springs out side or portland up the Colombia river that is abandoned and pretty cool.

My sex life is an abandoned place.

These pics are awesome. I just don't get how these big ass cities become abandon

Have you seen this place? Bulgarian communist party headquarters, Abandoned in 1991 after the fall of the USSR.

What an odd building.......

ha reminds me of

I watched this video about the growing wolf population in Chernobyl. It is cool to see how nature has just taken over the old cities.

watching now :up:

I had a Chernobyl "episode" recently, where I went on pretty much every link that Wikipedia gave me for the disaster, reading everything about the incident. Its as fascinating as it is tragic, I know it sounds kind of twisted, but disasters at man mad structures always seem to intrigue me, how it happened, what could have been avoided etc. I just got through reading about another Russian catastrophe that happened recently at the Sayano-Shushenskaya Damn, when a turbine basically erupted and shot out of its housing, flying 50 feet into the air, destroying the majority of the plant. The size of these turbines is insane, to think something so large and heavy could have gone air borne like that is crazy

Not really related to abandonment, but similar in the sense of eeriness I suppose

Sooooo want to visit Pripyat someday. Something tells me that this will be the epicenter of something even worse in the future. Irrational, yes. But still a feeling in the gut.

Downtown PHX has a Tunnel system. Only way to get to it,is to find one of the buildings that has access, Like the Firestone building on 3rd/van buuren

Also theres a Abandon HIRISE ON central behind the chase building,if you look up you will see there is no windows,and no entrance as its all been bored in.

AZ has ALOT OF ghost places,as well.

neat, I'm going to have to start tracking these places down

[xxx-Lost-Soul-xxx]

EDIT: just noticed my post count, 666, how appropriate haha
