Stupid ideas

[Shemp72]

This is a really stupid idea, but I'd love to sneak around this mess -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemetco

I've been in the parking lot, it's fascinating but I really wouldn't want to get caught roaming around.

Anyone else have any places that would be awesome to explore but for whatever reason it's just a stupid or very, very dangerous idea, i.e. Chain of Rocks water intake towers.?

Your link totally threw me off. Isn't that the Wood River Refinery? And yeah every time I drive by, I drool..

[Shemp72]

No, it's just south Hartford on Rt. 3. They got busted in the 90's for being polluting assholes. It was a copper refinery.

I've always wanted to explore the radioactive part of Westlake Landfill. Lol.

[Shemp72]

Why not? Bring home a 55 gallon drum of radioactive goodness.

Almost all of those buildings at the end of Latty Ave in Berkeley are considered contaminated. And there are two that are really inviting.

[SubLunar]

then wikipedia's coordinate's ain't right. Is it this?

The wood river refinery was one of the first things that came to mind anyway. I'd love to explore it.

[Shemp72]

That's it.

Let's do it! Radioactivity be damned!

[Shemp72]

Industrial sites are awesome. I'd love to explore a smelter or refinery sometime.

the Doe RUn Mine is about as awesome as it getts but im sure that some how there are probaly Reptial People down there plus its way active and extremently HUGE and busy and did I say active with lizzard people

[Shemp72]

Ha, I thought you were talking about the lead smelter initially, ropingk. I'd have to skip the active mining operation also. Shit gets all explodey in active mines.

I think Chemetco is gone now. I could be wrong, but I think even less is left than what is indicated on Google Earth. I always end up driving that way every couple of months.

I've always wanted to explore Pea Ridge.

i never did get that link to open correctly....
anyhow... I think most of it is gone. I will be in the area (somewhat) sunday hunting eggs, so I will take a peek and report back.

Considering I've gotten stuck in a well in winter time and broke the cardinal sin of caving: exploring a cave by myself without anyone knowing I was there; I don't think I need to come up with any more dumb ideas.

[SubLunar]

I've had a lot of locally stupid ideas..

here's one I'd like to see that's not local:
