They were taken at about 3 different places. All in Ohio. Nelsonville Train Yard{nelsonville, Oh} Nelson Water Center{You can see it off of 670 south...has graffiti written on it}...and the last is called the Gates of Hell. It's right off High street behind a thrift store in Columbus...It's called the gates of hell because bmx riders used to race down it and it got so dark that someone actually died by missing a turn{as I've heard}

That's pretty sweet. Good pics. My gf and I like to do this, as well. Both urban and outdoors. I have a place in mind I would like to hit up before too long. Don't really want to do it in the winter, so it may have to wait if I don't get time before then.

I used to go to the treatment plant when I was a teenager and lived in Bexley. Definitely some good times.

 

Nelson rd or the one on Alum Creek?

 

Gates of hell is right by hagley field..."blood bowl" it's been called. Also, another cool place is right above 161.

i work with the guy who runs iit. he has some pretty cool stuff on there.

Neat page, but he's missing allot. ;) Some Columbus exploring pics of mine from this weekend (sorry for the poor lighting):

 

Cave 1, Climb a ledge and find this:

Peer straight down into the blackness:

Looking up from the floor of the initial shaft, 28feet down". The shaft arcs, cant see daylight.

The "drain" in the bottom of the shaft, gets real tight, keeps going down:

Drain leads into the deepest point (elevation) of this small system: 37 feet below where you started, about 45-50ft below the surface. This room ranges 4-5ft high, but has a narrow "teardrop" profile, 4ft at it's widest.

The last tight passage, with the "diamond cutter" rock (has a diamond profile, cuts your ribs). This is just big enough for my 36" waist to wiggle around, and leads to another room of similar dimensions to the last.

That's as far as I went today. I have been to the last room, but with a group of other cavers. I was alone today, surveying the cave, and ran out of courage at the diamondcutter. It's an extremely tight fit, and requires contortion.

A neat fungus from the bottom, whit fuzzy columns going straight up:

Also, a nook in the shaft that I left out:

The shiny stuff is some kinda life form that holds thousands of individual drops of water, hence the shine.

 

Creepiest life form I've found:
