+GrateBear Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 A cache site just outside of Yellow Pine, ID. Was fine until I saw the partially gnawed deer leg/hoof inside. Made the find, hopped in the Jeep and was on my way! 1 Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Caching brought me close, but there are places that needed further exploration. Abandoned rail station. Old warehouse Or to continue with this theme. Quote Link to comment

+Ambrosia Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 An abandoned highway tunnel. If you discount the issues of defacement, the tagging was quite beautiful. Bat Cave: Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 One of my own geocaches: GC2Y2AT - Salz Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 GC2K47H - Lost Place "1715" I archived this cache a few weeks ago. It was a hard decision, but some areas got to dangerous through the years. Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Logged this one prior to it becoming a National Historic Site: Manzanar Virtual Cache Doesn't quite have the "abandoned" feel that it once had, since the NPS has taken over preservation efforts, but still good to see that this piece of history won't disappear.

+terrkan78 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Nice photos in this thread. Bigfoot's dungeon. (I have no clue what this used to be. In Wendling, Oregon, now a ghost town.) What's left of an old house. Near Eugene, Oregon. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I just came across this when looking for something else, for another thread. It was taken while caching around Angel Island in California. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) And then I was reminded of the Olema Line Kilns, which I used as a locationless cache back in the day. Nobody knows for certain who built them. Some believed that they might go as far back as the Russian exploration of Northern California, but the prevailing theory is that they were built around the gold rush period, when wood from this area was being sent off to San Francisco and someone might have thought that a kiln was a good idea. The location was not easy to find. The local historian refused to tell me where it was ("who are you?). So to me it was the kind of challenge worthy of a locationless. You can't put a physical cache there. A virtual would not have been a particularly good idea. But a locationless? The idea for this part of the game would not work today, but back then it was a fun part of caching. Edited June 13, 2014 by geodarts Quote Link to comment
+nosynellies Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 This was ground zero to "Watson Butte Lot". It was an amazing view and the building had definitely seen better days but none the less it was a great place to sit inside and see the breathtaking view. Quote Link to comment
+spy-d Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) The photo labeled "Bigfoot's dungeon" (hahaha!!) looks like an old company strongroom or vault, circa early 1900's-1920's. Just a guess (not familiar with Wendling, Oregon), but I've seen similar "ruins" that strike a resemblance. Thanks for sharing....awesome photo of past historical civilization. CHEERS!!

+geodarts Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Finding a little Sooke history and taking a few liberties to explore it: Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Before we traveled to Utah, I read an article about an abandoned house. The person reported entering the house and finding old furniture, bullet holes in the walls, chains in the basement, blood on the walls, and a demon or two. I did not believe the report, but we decided to drive by and I discovered that there was a cache at the location. If my wife had not been waiting, I might have tried to see if the report was true, but she got nervous about the little exploration I did. Nevertheless it was an interesting place to see. Abandoned House Or a more ghostly view Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Part of the Monte Cristo Mining Ghost Town, this is Peabody's Garage. The old Wellington town site along the abandoned Great Northern railbed that served the first Cascade Tunnel and was also the site of the worst rail disaster in American history when more than 96 people lost their lives in an avalanche here on March 1, 1910.

+Riisearch Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 An abandoned zoo located next to the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Quote Link to comment
+Riisearch Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Kolmanskop - A ghost town in Namibia. It was an amazing experience! Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I've explored many a ghost town in Arizona and ruined castle or bunker in Europe. Here in Oklahoma, not too many of either, but there are plenty of abandoned farmhouses, at least some of which must have been abandoned since the Dust Bowl. Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Recently returned from two weeks over São Paulo, with a bunch of new pictures Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I visited this abandoned school house (Highland School, Baird, WA) many years ago. Unfortunately, it's now gone. 2426111802 Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Creepy Sandia Ranch is the site of an old facility for the insane. Some say it's the most haunted site in Albuquerque. There are chilling stories of what went on here. I saw a few ghosts that had nothing to do with the paranormal. Edited January 19, 2015 by geodarts Quote Link to comment
+hufflepuff_mandy Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You all posted so many awesome lost places! Here are some of my favorites in Luxembourg Quote Link to comment
+Chris & Christine Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Whilst out geocaching last weekend, we found this abandoned village. Yes, we did find the cache nearby: GC2EE75 Quote Link to comment
+aviatik Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 GC35EV0 Alte skisprungschanze - old ski jumping hills near Oybin, Sachsen, Germany. Out of order since start of '90s, last jumps in 2006. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Not sure if this is used anymore, but it is tucked into the vines and looks quite forgotten. One of my favorite things about the Montlake Bridge in Seattle. An Innocent Love of Geocaching Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Ballart California Ghost Town. A proclaimed free zone. There is a single "trading post" a short distance away from the town, and a sign encourages people to do what you want - even to sit in your car and "learn nothen" as long as you don't hurt anything or anyone. The cache is outside the town, an old style hide. What more could you want? Post Office This truck apparently belonged to Charlie Manson who took refuge around Death Valley Quote Link to comment
+worstcaster Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 These are from a cache in South Fallsburg, NY called "Tunnel Vision". http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC317T5_tunnel-vision?guid=04ec1660-1133-47de-a8b4-c5c8d57aee33 Tunnel Entrance Ice flow near tunnel entrance Quote Link to comment
+worstcaster Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Some old foundations just off the trail today while hiding caches. Quote Link to comment
+dazade Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Some pictures from in and around an abandoned copper works in Swansea, taken after doing the nearby cache. The last image was taken in a room so dark you couldn't see a thing! (the picture was taken with flash, of course!) Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 An earthcache helped interest me in Paoha Island, but the ruins of an abandoned resort sealed the deal. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just up the highway a couple dozen miles from us is the abandoned mining town of Brice, New Mexico. There are a few caches hidden around, but by far my favorite was the one hidden in the old chow hall, Can You? 2.0, where thousands of old tin cans were quietly rusting away. 1 Quote Link to comment

+OlaHansson Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 A perfect abandoned place located in North-Germany (one of the coolest Mega-Events I ever visited)! Really great place!! We where there last year Quote Link to comment

+geodarts Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) We have stopped in Helper, Utah, to meet a local artist (Ben Steele) and have an early dinner at the Balanced Rock. While there we noticed a tafoni earthcache a short drive away. We got there and looked at the names in the area - Standardville, Peerless, Latuda. It seemed like there must be ruins - and there were. The next morning we returned to explore others - who could resist a place said to be Utah's most haunted ruin? There were several caches in the area but I made do with a geotour's Spring Canyon Mysteries. Edited October 1, 2016 by geodarts Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I heard about the abandoned domes in Casa Grande AZ about a year ago and had looked forward to visiting them. To The Domes made them easy to find. And a rainy day might have added to the ambience, Quote Link to comment
