This abandoned asylum is a photographers dream, and the paradise of all hikers, explorers, wanderers, and history buffs! I attached a couple shots I got. There are a few other places that could give you the eerie, surreal, and time-frozen feel of this place, and the way nature is reclaiming what man built. There's a lot of graffiti and some broken glass in the buildings, but the big empty spaces, falling in rooves, and rotting wood create the most mesmerizing -- some might even say haunting -- aura. The area is closed from Sunset to sunrise, but you could easily spend a weekend or more exploring this area! A couple final notes: one, a few of the buildings on the asylum campus are still being used, so those are off limits -- and two, there is a disc golf course spread across much of the land, so bring your frisbees!
