Abandoned Places thread

Bump from the dead.

George Graves brought this to my attention in the pictures thread. As it often does, the discussion (and photos) turned to abandoned nuclear power. I thought I'd share.

Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant, Cuba Wiki.

A buddy and I heard about an "abandoned" racetrack down near the Everglades. We drove 3 hours to go check it out. It's about a mile walk passed the first closed and locked gate. It definitely got the adrenaline flowing as we approached! It's not abandoned, as somebody takes the time to groom it but I didn't see any evidence that it has been used. Ever!

I think top gear used it in the episode across America.

Forgotten Planet is a great show, too bad it was only one season. Couple of the sites the feature are a bit of a re-hash like Pripyat and Salton City, and they left out Centralia, PA, which would have been interesting.

Googled it. Seems it was set for demo in 2013?

Sad....looks like a kick ass place!

They keep threatening, but it's still there. Cost to demo is like $4 million that they dont have.

I've been watching Forgotten Planet too. I really want to go to Bodie.

Do an image search for "American Flats, Nevada". Reno is closest major city. It's an old abandoned cyanide mill where they used to leach tailings for every little bit of silver left over from the Comstock. The empty cyanide cans still litter the place. I havent been there in years, but used to go party and play paintball out there occasionally in my younger days. Always had the feeling of being watched .... :-|

I started watching last night. It's a bit dramatic, but not bad.
