I'm down to show everyone the naval testing center in Ewing NJ. There are huge metal chambers that the tested jet engines in and its huge.. The 4 buildings will take about 2 hours or so... Its close to a main road so you just have to park and run through the hole in the gate before you attract attention... |

ScubaSteve, I'd be down to go again, but I walked past it last night and my "entrance" has been sealed off since the last time I was there. I'll have to do a little more looking arround before I'd be able to get back in. What you've heard is correct, it's basically gutted, and there is occasionally people in there doing work, but alot of it is still intact and it's really a great location.

im down for a weekday, love urban exploration. Need to get a better flashlight though, the little home depot 6 led aint cutting it.
Places ive explored 1. clinton rd, nj. Completely overrated, just your average spooky old road. Having grew up in NYC, it was interesting at first, but for anyone who lives in the quiet areas of PA its just another road... We did get chased by some locals in a old ford pickup though, that was interesting. 2. Abandoned Monastery, Staten Island NY – Now this was interesting. It is an abandoned monk monastery built decades ago before people had access to electricity. It is located on the top of a pretty big hill. Anyways, at first sight it just looks like an abandoned building 2 stories above ground. The fun part is that it is also 14 stories underground. We only made it to one level down before we realized that it was way too dangerous. Lack of electricity = no lights underground besides our flashlights. Additionally a lot of the wood floors/stairs were very old and beginning to break. If you fall through/walk into a hole, who knows how many stories you will drop before you hit a solid floor again. Additionally, some areas deeper underground are extremely flooded after accumulating rain for so many years. Not worth it to go deeper. According to some stories, on the last level underground was a jail cell where they housed an insane monk. The guy would claw at the walls and blood stain and marks are still there. To access the cell area, you have to crawl through an array of tunnels. |

I've always wanted to get into it. You guys are a little far from me, but I'm definitely in for stories/pictures. I'd love to find stuff somewhat local to me to check out, be it buildings/roads/towns/structures/etc.

Anyone know if any good factories, plants, etc? I used to go to an abandoned naval testing center in Ewing NJ a lot. I havent been and I'd imagine its nearly all gone by now. Greystone asylum was really good too, but that is also long gone.
The bigger the better... Thoughts? |
