Before exploring out here, I did a lot of research on the driving route, hiking trail, and other's experiences. It just recently has been closed off to the public, since Instagram/Tumblr/etc have made it extremely popular within the past couple years and lot's of people have disrespected the area with vandalism and litter. ...not to mention it's VERY dangerous. I came out anyways, taking the more challenging trail to avoid possible security, and also on a day that had a more unique look with the heavy fog. What you can't see is that it's nearly 500' high with no safety measures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e9983de4b06490f4cc3374/1421725366279-KJG4ERG14BDVOAB49ND7/image-asset.jpeg STORIES - Washington This is an abandoned nuclear power plant.

I got my photos, and left while it was getting dark. I do carry a first-aid kit and survival kit in my camera bag just in case, but hiking back through that forest with only the light from my headlamp was wild and thought in the back of my mind that those kits may come into play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e9983de4b06490f4cc3374/1421728915924-9QBD5RHBLNO1L4250VRH/20150111-washington-112.jpg STORIES - Washington Against my instinct, I went inside and took this self-portrait.
