Its not really that "Urban", as its in the middle of nowhere, so this will be the first "Rural Exploration"!
All pictures were taken with a Motorola w385, which I recommend to anyone who wants a sturdy, long ranged phone for a budget price.

Upon entering the main building, there was a huge area filled with pipes of various sizes, which had just been rolled from sheet steel.

Ein Schrei wird zum Himmel fahren, Schneidet sich durch Engelsscharen. "Mein herz brennt, gib mir kraft." Der kalte Mond in voller Pracht hört die Schreie in der Nacht... und kein Engel steigt herab.
