Stage two

Here is the rest of the story. When I left off I had gave you the photos from the first and second floors of the abanonded factory. Here are the rest of them, although I didn't count the remaining floors.

The higher we got, the more nervous I got. This building has been partly torn down for reasons unknown, and through out the buildings there are holes cut in the floor and tons of dangerous stuff, I must admit that I was afraid of the stairs not being able to hold us as we climbed higher.

This was the top. The roof of the building! We didn't go any further than this because of the snow and my gigantic fear of heights--oh and it probably wasn't very safe up there either.

Here we found the old office areas. We didn't go down any further because it was too dark, and I admitted to being scared of the dark.
This scale was the last thing in this building I photographed. Why? Because there one was one single light on. The building is supposed to be dead, no power! We found the first door out and that was the end.

We trudged on over to through the silos and into the loading building-or that's what I thought it was, and these are the last photos of the trip

This is not the end of the abandonment series, I will fill you in on last weekends adventure, and then follow up with the up coming outing, and I hope it will certainly be an exciting one!

On tour......

Well after months of working with a broken blog editior, I finally got it right. No big deal for you but for me it's a lot nicer to see what it is I am doing!

If you were waiting to hear about my story about the abandoned factory, your wait is over.  And if you live in Hillsdale you most likely know what I am talking about. Yes, the old stock mill buildings. If you haven't been in it, I am going to share some photos with you so you can see what's there. Mar and I went all the way to the roof, we didn't go into any of the silo buildings because it was really dark and I am scared of the dark, I'll admit it.

We didn't go down there, it's really dark on the other side of the building, yes we did have flash lights, but I am not game for encountering things in the dark. It was thrilling enough with out being in the dark.

No you may have noticed that some of the photos have not been edited, I wanted to give my viewers an idea of the whole way through the buildings.

This of course this isn't all the photos, this is only the first and second floor, there are many more to come so keep watching.
