Dragline

Posted by: Naaman 

 There is something to be said for being considerate. When people are napping, you should respect it. Sleep is sacred and Ford Expeditions are sanctuaries of rest for tuckered out security guards. Bless their hearts.

This dragline is honestly the biggest thing I have ever seen in my life that wasn't a skyscraper. The original plan was to go to the top. However, jagged razor wire and a possible light sleeper thwarted the ascent.

I probably would have died anyway.

Return to Ruins: TCI Ensley

Posted by: Naaman 

 Seven months makes a big difference.

In the heat of the summer, at the pinnacle of underbrush and Alabama humidity, TCI looks like a different place than in the dead of Winter. I saw an entire building and a third train engine that I had not seen before. Not to mention numerous smaller structures and holes in the Earth big enough to swallow cars.
