I was honestly that scared, and I'm not someone who scares easily. The floor was mostly stable, but we could tell what parts weren't pretty easily.<br> I'd just have to go back down and be really quick and careful about it.<br> We headed down the stairs to check it out.<br> There were pins scattered at the ends of the lanes, although they were mostly cracked or broken, as well as the occasional bowling ball. They had us pose for a few shots on the edge of the roof.<br> In fact, it was so high that I wasn't going to be able to walk to every part of the cave where the water was deepest.<br> Everyone was pretty wet from the higher-than-normal water level, but it was still fun. One of them was a fairly new truck that someone had gotten turned upside down. We creeped around a little bit and came to a wet area surrounding a grate in the floor. I let the fact that I've wanted to climb a smokestack for years and that I'd been semi-obsessed with coming back and climbing this one seriously cloud my judgement.<br> Everyone was pretty wet from the higher-than-normal water level, but it was still fun. We went up a few flights up stairs and came out onto the roof. Still, everyone got down in anyway and we started checking it out. When I finally reached the ground, I was pale and felt like I was going to throw up.<br> It looked like someone had been stockpiling clothes and toiletries.<br> I climbed down and yelled for Hiccup and Chris to come down where I was and climb the ladder to the roof.<br> Nearby there was a nifty looking smokestack, but there didn't seem to be any way inside it. This time, it was much more accomadating.<br> I'd been expecting the top of the smokestack to be fairly thick, but it was actually only like two bricks wide, so I ended up having to straddle it.<br> In fact, it was so high that I wasn't going to be able to walk to every part of the cave where the water was deepest. Louis vacation, Hiccup and I met up with Chris and explored a couple random buildings and the Cotton Belt Freight Depot. I offered money if someone was willing to dive into it, but everyone politely declined.<br> We introduced ourselves, and they were very excited to meet me. We reached a flat concrete area, and there were two more vehicles there. When I finally reached the ground, I was pale and felt like I was going to throw up. We weren't really even sure which end of the mall we'd come in from, and we were reluctant to look down at the end of the mall where the strange person had been trying for unlocked doors.<br> It was of the large room below the smokestack with huge machinery it, and it definitely captured the coolness of the decaying plant. A ladder led down through an opening in the grate and we could see water below.<br> I could also see that the chamber continued on farther ahead and went around a corner, and I could hear water dripping heavily somewhere ahead. We headed down the stairs to check it out.<br> The signs posted on some of the plastic said they were doing asbestos removal.<br> <br> </body> </html> |
