I will NOT divulge locations. Please do not ask. A good Urban Explorer conceals the locations as much as possible to keep sites open. Finding them is half the fun!
I shoot with a Nikon D7000 and various Nikkor lenses. Older photos taken with various cameras to include Nikon, Kodak and others.
All photos posted here are mine unless specifically noted. I shoot and process all photos myself. Nothing is re-blogged or re-posted from elsewhere. This is my work, good bad and indifferent.

Still secure………detail of the lock “securing” one of the old storefronts.
Straubville, N.D.
A railroad town that never got past 40-50 people. The townsite is named after the farmer that gave up property for this little rail road town to be built. Other than a triple storefront and a couple of houses. This place could be driven past and never spotted. Very rural part of the county.
A stove that met a nasty end in Mose, N.D.
This is “the town that blew away”. A tornado took away a good portion of the town in 1943 and Mose never fully recovered.
It looked as if nobody lived there now, but one place looked as if it was used for “camping”.
Arena North Dakota.
A true ghost town. Zero residents.
I am messing around with black and white levels here. I wanted to make something that looked post-apocalyptic or nightmarish. Like a photograph of how Tim Burton sees dreams.
Dry Ice Company
Brick’s Eye View
Rather large chamber. My fave part of the facility. I walked on the roof above. If I did not think it was stable. I certainly would not attempt it. That is a 40-50 foot fall to a concrete floor.
Dry Ice Company
The lower windows were HUGE, and covered with bars. Some even had safety perforated plate over it.
Apartment building.
There were burned sections, so entry would have been a bad idea. Most of what I have been doing lately for exploration is solo. So I have to be even more careful. Nobody to help me if I get hurt.
Old general store and hotel I think.
I think they used up all of the no trespassing signs in this county.
Ominous apartment building.
This building is painted a very dark brown, almost black, and sits on a little knoll.
Very Very Rural North Dakota
The tick house.
I call this one “C’MON DOWN!”
Very Very Rural North Dakota
This house had a nice old hay bale maker in front. It was all shot up too.
Drawback, first encounter with ticks on the trip. I hate ticks. I was paranoid the whole rest of the road trip.
North Dakota
This one was between “Big Yellow” and the school. This one only needed a little help to be running condition again. Too bad.
This is also my 500th post for this blog. Not a huge number, but when it is all your photos. I can say I am actually a little proud of myself…..
North Dakota
This truck was near an abandoned school. Had a very nice talk with the landowner. He told us the history of the school and such. Once he figured out we were not vandals or other bad folks that is.
I would hate to have “Big Yellow” bearing down on me! No “crumple zones” back then, just steel.
Chesapeake Grain Elevator
“Get to da hoppah!”
OKAY, well. It sounded funny to me.
Rocky heaven TB Hospital
Most of the buildings were no longer safe to enter. Notice the collapsed roof. Entry would have been completely foolhardy.
This one appears to have been staff offices.
North Dakota
Another nice potential rat rod.
This homestead was not too far from a ghost town. The only one that kind of freaked me out. Not due to ghosts, but rising surrounding water in every direction.
Could have camped at this homestead and nobody would ever have known. We had miles to cover however.
