Gorgeous shots... I love the clarity of the ice. It takes a heck of a winter for this to freeze over. I've gone in the heart of winter before and found it completely unfrozen. The geothermal effects are quite encompassing.

I'm a huge fan of old, raised ruins, and these ones are pretty cool. In my old geocaching days, this would have been a prime location for a cache. I would still be doing it, but unfortunately they squacked too much about trespassing concerns.

I have really been wanting to see the interior of this place for a long while. Thanks for that.

Nice shots! Been a while since I've seen those stables.

Nope!... went by today and I must say, they have tripled down on securing that door now. I don't think it's going to be open again for another half a decade, at least. So answer me the age-old question: where did the stairs go? Just a sealed up wall at the bottom?

Complete 100% lethargy! It was so cold that I'm surprised it even had enough energy to lift its head up. I think this might have been the very first weekend for snake emergence from hibernation.

Beautiful photo--I'd say this is the money-shot, right here.

Years ago, when abandoned but before this place was boarded up, the cat was so freshly dead that I tapped on the window thinking it was just sleeping and I had misinterpreted the vacancy of the house.

I didn't even notice that while taking the shot Superss. That is ridiculous. Who would design it that way? I guess you could still manage if you stepped over and straddled it each time.

Great perspective shot. So glad to see that someone else finally got out here to enjoy these rusty hulks.
