2012: Abandoned
Mental Hospital
Central State Hospital - Milledgeville (GA)
I was told about a huge 2 story abandoned mental institute the 1st time I passed through Milledgeville in 2011. Though when I was told about it, the guy telling me also told me that 'everyone' that went inside got busted & to 'not waste my time!'
I spent several days trying to find someone to help me get inside so I could take photos. After a week, I finally met someone that agreed to drive me to the abandoned hospital ...but he didn't want to go in.
To make matters worse, when we got there I realized that a newer mental hospital had been built nearby & they had security guards that patrolled the ENTIRE grounds ...& the windows were barred shut. ...But, I was determined.
I ninja'd past the guards & managed to find a way in. I began taking photos & exploring hallways, medical rooms, patient's quarters, offices, the kitchen... suddenly I realized... I had no idea where the tiny opening that I had came through was!
...I WAS LOST IN AN ABANDONED MENTAL HOSPITAL!
2012: Rockies
Colorado Rockies
Thumb's out, in the open air of the loneliest section of western Kansas, we began singing to passing vehicles who sped by...|
"...Why ya' gonna call it a PICKUP TRUCK... if you ain't gonna stop & PICK US UP!?"
(Hahaha! You have to find something to giggle about while hitch hiking. I commonly sing about all the cars that could have stopped for us, how their cars are entirely too empty & that we don't stink near as bad as they might imagine... maybe just a little.)
Eventually, reaching our destination, we began exploring the Rocky mountainside. Exploring it's terrain, splashing in it's waters & watching in awe as the life giving rain clouds drew nearer, undeterring us from our mission to investigate the lands...
