military memories

During our time in Wyoming SaskUrbex really wanted to check out some military locations. We drove to a few and were unable to visit them. We decided to head back to the first one we visited and go through a back road.

Originally we had went up the main road and saw a man opening the gate - I was going to ask him for permission but he quickly closed it and drove away. Maybe he wasn't supposed to be in there? So after a slight detour we made it a "Atlas D Missille Base".  If you want more information about it you can visit blog.saskurbex.com2011/11/09/wyoming-atlas-d-missile-base/

In my opinion it was well worth the walk, this location was severely gutted but has stood up to the test of time well. It was very neat to see how these places were set up and the cradle was definitely my favorite part. I am surprised by how much they had left behind.

power plant

During our trip in Wyoming we decided to stop an abandoned power plant. I had found a single picture of this building online and was immediately interested. After some research I found out its name and its whereabouts. Although I didn't find its excact location, SaskUrbex was able to find out where it was.

The building was huge with windows intact and foundations of long gone buildings. There is a very active substation connected to the plant but the plant itself is long since abandoned. Now a farmer owns it and uses it as storage which was a disappoint to us but still worth a stop. This location was neat and very photogenic.. see for yourself.

be aware ski with care

Another Ski Hill?!?!

Crazy I know. I'm giving the credit to SaskUrbex for this one. If it weren't for him I would have never figured out that this existed. This neat little find this hill was surprisingly intact with plenty of vandalism. The chalet was definitely the most interesting, but sitting on an abandoned chair of a ski lift was an interesting experience. This ski hill had a chair lift, T-bar and quite a few runs. Overgrown now and with years of neglet its surprising that there is still glass in some of the windows  and not everything was stolen.

A neat place to document.

No shortage of selection

school for mice

Out and about the other day we cam upon a schoolhouse. Not looking very promising from the outside we checked it out anyways and were surprised by what we found. A piano, learning materials, dishes & chairs still remain in this school. What was strange was the amount of mice around this schoolhouse. Someone must have gone crazy with the mouse poisen because everytime i turned around there was another dead mouse.
