brick plant with no past

Seems I am on a roll this year as this would be the third abandoned brick plant I have visited. This one I have meaning to visit for years now but never had a chance. But I finally did it and it was better than I expected. Small but still loaded with history this brick plant has a line of small kilns with two stacks on either sides. Evidence of outbuildings could also be seen.

I dont know much about the history of this plant. I do know that I am only posting these couple pictures of it because I feel you only need a few pictures of this place to give you a good feeling of what it is like.

Neat fact, the bricks used to build most of this brick plant were from Claybank Brick Plant. Ironic that I was just at Claybank for a visit. ^-^

lake discoveries

Well, I finally made it up to the lake this year. Its about time considering last year I never made it up. Of course any trip to the lake is an excuse to explore on the way up or on the way back. This trip was no exception. I explored on the way up and made a couple new discoveries.

Highlights:
- got into a church I never had access to before
- found a ghost town and an abandoned school
- visited one of my favorite ukrainian churches in the province

good ole' construction - this guy had it good with his lawn chair beside his car

return trips

Seems all I have been doing lately is return trips. I have seen most things in the area so all I have had time for is return trips to sites I have seen. I always like to check back and see what has changed, usually its for the worst. As depressing as it is to see these beautiful sites decay and be destroyed by other people it is part of the circle.

I chose to take a friend with me to a few sites I have been to in the past. I went with my camera but didn't take to many photo's as I have documented these sites many times. Here are just a couple of my favorite pictures from the bunch. Enjoy.
