I didn't even get close to the first structure before I saw 4 Police SUVs pull through the main gate. I waited for them to pass along the main driveway and then I left the way I came. Disappointing. I wonder if there is a silent alarm? Or maybe they were just doing a routine check on the place because I sincerely doubt that someone called them for me, I had only been there for a maximum of 5 minutes and noone saw me enter that I am aware of.

We snuck around the South side waterfront onto the property, past the old swing sets, but there was no need to hide. Not a car. Not a soul in sight. Only stayed for about an hour to explore, took a few iphone shots and literally left right through the front entrance. Just hopped the gate on the way out. Didn't go inside the building. It was dark and we just kept finding doors welded shut. Any suggestions on where I should be trying to get in without technically breaking anything?nickjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498047340046669313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346894193514172723.post-25703605797092259572016-07-27T16:36:03.020-04:002016-07-27T16:36:03.020-04:00Location and address please?Location and address please?mcwilliamrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766704014792342978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346894193514172723.post-58763288840973582392016-03-12T10:59:58.836-05:002016-03-12T10:59:58.836-05:00Heather Hess, we have some old photos of this sani...Heather Hess, we have some old photos of this sanitarium and some people standing in front of it.
