The best hunt ever

We went toward some places I had seen on previous trips, and I have the photos from that, but the fourth place we went to was Totally Awesome and I don't have those ready yet because I had a photo shoot this most recent Saturday. I had two models in an abandoned building and it was GREAT! So I have been editing those photos since Saturday. If you happen to be reading this and your interested in being a model it's a pretty simple plan I run. No charge to you if you pose for me and don't mind being in abandoned buildings. Then I let you have low res copies for your pages on the Internet, and if you want to prints, you can purchase those from me as well.

Here are the shots from 3/20/10:

Two Saturday's ago

 I have been seemly putting it off, here are the houses we found two Saturday's ago. It really wasn't a great outing not to mention is was pouring rain. Of the three places we found we could get halfway into ONE of them! They were busted up houses and the fourth place I wanted to go to was gone! Well I don't know how busted up this one was:

Couldn't get into this one, there was a Winnebago parking right next to it. Guessing by the age of this one we wouldn't have been able to get far anyway.,

When we drove around to find the next place I had planned on going to, I couldn't find it. Then I was afraid I was in the wrong place, because there was another place I couldn't find as well. But what I really think happened, is they were finally tore down. So we went here:

We couldn't get in because the roof was caved in. So we took photos from outside:

We left here and went down the worst dirt road in the world, Burt road, that's right I said it. It would have been smoother to drive in the fields. Then we found this broken beauty:

We had to climb into this house, the door was locked in a sort of booby trapped way, but the funny thing about that was, there was no back wall at all, we had to climb up over the foundation around this enclosed porch area:

There was some good stuff though:

Pretty sure we entered the kitchen, to the right the bathroom, I think:

From here the entry way into the living room the floor was gone, and this is where you could really see that a fire had emptied this house.

Not sure what this area was other than a storage area that was forgotten:

Now you can see that it really wasn't a great outing, I didn't get nearly as many pictures that I would normally get. We really made up for that last weekend! We hit the jackpot of abandoned houses last weekend, and now that I am done with two Saturdays ago, I can get started on those so be on the look out!

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!
