This location is right on the highway and it has no trespassing signs. The highway is not too busy however, and there is room to pull over on the side of the road.

The first thing to see after going through the gate is a very small barn building. This building is constructed almost entirely out of wood, and it is divided into 2 rooms by a wooden wall. One of these is a somewhat unsafe room, as the floor is not very stable and it has some holes in it. The other half of the building contains an area where an animal would have been keps. The ground was more stable in the part, as it was made of dirt as well.

On the way to the roofless building, we found a hidden well. It was covered by some wooden planks and rocks, but we were able to stick our arms in to get some photographs of the interior. The well had a green hose going down it, and the well's presence was strange due to the fact that another more modern well was also on the property. Beside the well, we found a strange concrete chamber filled with dirt and grass. It had a tall rounded piece of concrete at one end, so we took photos pretending it was a coffin.

We walked a little bit more, until we reached the roofless building. We could see some of the shack's interior through the windows, but we stupidly decided to climb in. Do to our stupidity, the instability of the building, and our lack of agility, we struggled and had some injuries whike doing so. Inside, the ground was covered in all sorts of wood, and there were two large locked boxes. The one made of metal had a hole in it so we could see thst it was empty, but the other was made mainly of wood and we were not able to gain access to it. It was labled "stay out." We also found some metal roofing, a pink flamingo decoration, and a very broken wooden chair.

Outside of the building, we were able to see a very modern BBQ with no rust on it, a bookshelf of some sort, some chairs, and a swing attached to a nearby tree.

We also saw the probable ruins of a barn on the empty lot next door, but we did not explore it.

The location is quite visible from the road, so be careful of onlookers. The climb is also risky due to the lack of structural integrity and the nails in the wood. Finally, as previously mentioned, the barn's floor is unstable.

It is a mess. Some curtains are on the window, and one of the locked boxes can be seen
???
We were not sure what this was meant to be. It was made of cardboard and was attached to the wall.

This was found in a hole in the floor.
Still locked
We were not able to access this container.

And interesting plaque we found inside.

This swing was creepy to see hanging from the tree.
