| | | @dunderitis: ack! What am I doing wrong? I resized the image to the 800 x 600 limit and it still said my file was too big. I think I need to go visit some tutorial threads....bear with me. Don't get too excited bc I'm a real newbie. I only have one pic to share on this computer and its not a great find. I feel the need to give some backstory on me. Here's how I got into this: I was hired as a microbiologist for a plastics manufacturer - they have problems with certain bacteria in their liquid finishes...anyway.....they were housed in this 1950's dairy plant that sprawled over a 2 MILE campus right on the rail line. It was out in the boondocks of Covington, GA. Anyway, it was converted in the 80's to a carpet mill, then in the 2000's to what it is today, a polyolefin synthetic textile producer. There are parts of the plant that still are loaded with asbestos - wide open too....- places that no one ever goes into. One section has these HUGE locker rooms and the fluorescent light fixtures are hanging on by one wire, water dripping and the lights flickering...right out of a horror movie. There are sections of the internal "parts" department that have parts from the dairy and then parts from the carpet mill....in dusty bins that haven't been touched in decades....the place was MASSIVE and I had very little to do so I explored a LOT. I didn't know this was interesting to other people though and bc I worked there, it didn't occur to me to take pics. Now that I left, and I can't have my daily fix of exploration, I started looking around and that's how I found there are other people who like doing this, find it a fascinating look back in time. Shoot - there was even a notice still up, dated 1990 when the carpet mill closed telling the employees what to do to out process....that place was and is a gold mine! I wonder if they would let me in as just a person to explore? I kinda doubt it bc the safety factor but I'm soooo kicking myself for not taking pictures. I can only chalk it up to naivety and move on..... bummer though.... so, since then, I haven't found much I can explore. Its mostly inhibited by my unwillingness to wander in some of these areas alone. Seems really dangerous for a single woman.
