Is that photo from Satsop? That's a place every probably 18 months pops back into my mind as a place that would be really interesting to check out.

I have a thing for abandoned places, better yet if it's abandoned infrastructure, and best is abandoned electric power. There are a number of abandoned, incomplete nuclear power plants scattered across the country and world! None near me, just cancelled plans before they started construction. One property was an army air targeting range in the '40s and '50s, sold to the utility who planned to build a nuclear plant there, and when that fell through the property was sold and became a golf course.

Hells yeah that's Satsop.

I've driven by it a dozen times but it's never occurred to me to go visit.
