  • 08/20/2004

Somehow I’ve overlooked this. These pics are over a year old; I just never put them up. The Sex Plant is an interesting little find just down the road a bit from where the Pioneer Smelting Company was. Not really much to say; it’s a small building that’s...

  • 06/20/2004

Most sites won’t cover a place like this, and I feel they’re missing out on quite a bit by not doing so. This prison was finished in 1811 and used up til 1965. For the most part, it’s in its original condition, with many of the walls still...

Martha’s Furnace

  • 04/20/2003

Nov. ’04 – I removed this from the site for a while because it was rather boring. We originally went in April ’03 and figured the furnace was gone. I’ve since found out the furnace IS still there….it’s been buried. So all the info on this page is...
