LP: Earth and I chose a construction site as our target for trespassing. We set out from my apartment, and began by hopping a fence and crossing a long-disused and overgrown parking lot and former strip mall. It's probably a very valuable piece of real estate, but it clearly hasn't been used in years.


We then crossed under a bridge, following a city greenway path along the creek. It's a pretty place to walk at night, but of course you're not allowed to be there after 11PM. We explored the parking lot a little before moving on to the construction site proper.



We were prepared with tools, but whoever locked the gate wasn't very careful -- we managed to squeeze through under the chain without much trouble at all.

Equipment for building high-rise hotels gets quite large -- some of the augurs they had lying around were at least 4 feet in diameter. (They're still in the process of laying the foundation.) Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of them -- we were trying not to take too many flash photos. I did, however, get this photo of Emma standing on one of the ubiquitous piles of dirt.



ED: added photos of us behind the lock,


and of a giant blade of some sort...

Should have had a night vision camera - but then again, there is always next time ;-) Wonderful choice of trespassing sites... (three in one)
