There’s this abandoned lime quarry about 45 minutes east of where I live. I have heard about it at various times and have always wanted to head out there but have never really had the opportunity. I decided to make time over the weekend and wouldn’t you know it…it rained! I still decided to brave the weather and hung out there for about 45 minutes. Can’t wait to get back out there when there is no rain (hahaha, I live in Washington State…is there such a thing?). This is part I, I’ll post more on Thursday (after Wordless Wednesday). Series II will have more internal shots.

…Enjoy!

Wow! I’m always on the look for places like this. I live in the Seattle area. Would you be inclined to tell me where this is??

Of course, it’s in Concrete Washington. I’ll shoot you an email this weekend and give you the info. It’s a really cool place with some great sites! While you are up here, you should also visit Northern State Hospital (it’s on the way to Concrete). 🙂

  Nice! I live in Washington, so I’ve visited a lot of places. Concrete is on my list from a pic I saw a while back.

Thanks Jeff, I really had a great (but too short of a) time there! 🙂

‘Let me at it!’ – excellent discovery. I can see you are going to be able to spend many a spare hour at that site. ( I can see it ‘growing’ in your imagination as you develop your knowledge of the quarry)
