The Home of the Porcelain God
We walked quickly and quietly to the other side of the
plant where we found an open door and a ladder to the roof. I left my camera
with one of the others and climbed up to take a peek. Not seeing anyone I
stepped out onto the roof and walked around a bit trying to make some
noise. When I came back down I asked them to compare the sound
with what we heard earlier and they said it was much different. We came to
the conclusion that it was the building settling and shifting as the sun
heated it up. With that reassurance we decided to take a look around
this area since it was near the back of the complex and we were unlikely to
be seen.
In between the building and a large tank I came across
this. Neat! Or maybe not. I didn’t check too thoroughly but I’m pretty sure
this barrel was empty. I’m sure they wouldn’t be careless enough to leave a
50 gallon barrel of Sulfuric Acid lying around.
I followed the abandoned train tracks to a shipping area.
The disconnected pipes next to the loading dock are labeled “Maximum 10 PSI
for blow off”. Sitting on a pallet in the loading area was a nearly full
stack of completed toilets ready to be shrink wrapped and moved to the ware
house where they would be boxed up and shipped out.
While we were looking around a train came by.
Apparently this area is prone to flying objects. I just
hope those objects don’t include forklifts! Signs: “Danger, Watch for flying objects” “Danger, watch for forklifts”
