the big trip

Just got back from my big trip of the year! I am glad to say the whole thing was a success! I went with the 2 guys i usually explore with as well we had a well known explorer from Winnipeg join us. We found many different things and had some great experiences.

Some of the things we explored:
  • an airport
  • hotel & bar
  • large industrial building
  • farms
  • schools
  • churches
  • ghost towns
  • community hall
  • curling & hockey rinks
Some first time experiences for me:
  • to explore an airport
  • to explore a hotel
  • finding a grow-op
  • being in a house with the phone still working
  • finding a colony of prairie dogs
  • being in a house with no plumbling & finding sh*t all over
  • finding an at home electroshock therapy device
I will be sure to post all my favorite pictures as well as some stories from the trip!

Wow, sounds like quite the trip! A grow-op? And the place with the phone still working, perhaps they live there during seeding and harvest? The colony of prairie dogs, now that's just too much!! :) (The other two on your list are just kinda creepy...) Glad you had an adventurous treck!
