Running across various different places on rides is one of my favorite things. With abandoned and run down locations having a special place in my heart.
While out on my last ride, I ran across this abandoned massive live stock farm. Most of it has been overgrown with various plants and weeds.
The place is huge, with a large part still explorable. Photo above seems to be were the animals were kept, with a copy paste building right next to it that is still full of hay.
I can smell this picture. Hay, cattle, manure, it’s all there, even if it’s faint now that the animals are gone.
Honestly, it was surprisingly clean. I did not go in that far, just a few steps and it just smelled stale / damp.
I’m thinking maybe the manure was cleaned up by local farmers (for use on their farm fields, which are pretty much right next to this complex).
Here’s a better picture of the inside. Does this even look like a place cattle would be kept? It’s just too clean.
I always think abandoned farms are very sad.
I think non-abandoned factory farms are sad. If there was a hell, I’d hope factory farmers burn in it.
I mean like ‘family farms’ not huge industrial wastelands.
