2012 6 June 7 - Tilbury Cement Urban Spelunking

N 47° 34.331 W 122° 21.200
I get that this is another one of your geocashing adventures, but what are these lockers and what is inside them? Something electrical it looks like? Intersting place.

@mstipe This is an abandoned cement plant. Another person I follow posted pictures from it a few months back and I finally got out there to check it out. You do have to slip around a fence and avoid the homeless guy that lives there, but other than that... Here is a link talking about it. http://www.car.avbrand.com/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=98145&currpage=1&pp

Looks very interesting place

I want to go there so badly now!! Those pictures in that link were amazing. I need a buddy though... Is that a place you could take a small group of people or is it better to just go with one person for extra protection.
Also, is it trespassing or are you allowed to go wonder and check it out?

@mstipe check out this site http://thislifeinruins.blogspot.com/ There are a bunch of cool looking places there. I first ran across this site from @sticksandstones http://365project.org/sticksandstones/365/2012-01 She posted some pics from there and other urban sites.

I would not want to take too big of a group. No reason to draw attention. As far as trespassing, I would not want to admit to that. Let's just say that I want down by the water from a park and ended up on the wrong side of a fence.

@mstipe No problem. If you decide to go out there let me know. I would like to go explore a little more.

nice shot....it is a pretty cool, chill spot- and the art there is always changing. did you happen to see all the small "coin-like" copper pieces all over the floor..? - - it is bothering me...can't figure out what they are!

@sticksandstones I didn't notice the copper pieces, but it was a just quick run up during lunch. I look forward to going back some time and exploring more.
