| | | Just visited this place last night. My recommendation would be to visit it during the summer and during daytime. It isn't really overwhelmingly scary at night..or even eerie for that matter, so going at night isn't any more adventurous than going during the day. Go during the summer too because this place can be really REALLY muddy.. The 'exploration' aspect of the place is rather dry and it is not a super exciting place, however it would be well worth the walk if you went during a summer day. Why? Because the beauty of this place has nothing to do with the fact that it's a ghost town..it's pretty basic actually, it has quite a few houses but most of them have no more than three or four rooms, and you can pretty much see through every wall. But what makes this place pretty cool is how decrepit the place is, how much it's fallen. The buildings are literally getting taken over by the mud; one of the buildings was apparently a two story hotel but the first story has since sunken into the mud. The last residents may have left in '79, however some of these places haven't had anyone living inside them since the 50s. So if you go, go during the daylight because this place has been practically unmaintained for over half a century, so that's 50+ years of mother nature retaking civilization and you can't really enjoy it fully at night. Some people may not like it, but what draws me to abandonments is the idea of the "what if humans disappeared", and minus the graffiti, this place captures it rather well. That's why it's a neat place. I would recommend it if you're in the area and have no plans.

| Some of those holes and random dips would be pretty dangerous at night too.
