To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: September 2010

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 12, 2010. I heard from a person who tried to visit it that there was large construction equipment around. Not a good sign. Having visited Pleasureland i kid you not two weeks ago, and it was fine, coming here today was like an unmercifully hard punch to the stomach. I'll leave you with the pictures of this fine, fine place. One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: “Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us! Rest in Peace, Pleasureland. 1934 - 2010. I'm an explorer, w...

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: March 2009

Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Letchworth, February 2009. It's the two guys on top of the building? Two guys on top of the building? Recently, I had one of those. Moments at Letchworth Village. But, we'll get to that in a minute. Friday after I got 'released' from work, I raced home and laced up my boots, glad to be out of my dress shoes, and after collecting my gear, went to grab Nicky. This part of the campus is HUGE! It almost overpowers the half that we DO know about and visit from time to time. Turns out,...

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: May 2009

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 25, 2009. Now, the majority of the bunker is sealed off by chain link fence and the trail to get on top was so treacherous, I went up by myself and almost went down on my ass. This place was really cool to visit, amazing how 67 years of harsh elements -especially teenagers with spray cans- takes a toll on these places. Enjoy the shots so far, we'll be making a return trip in the future. View from on top of the bunker, did I ever mention that I am positively MORTIFIED of heights? Lucy was buil...

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: September 2008

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 28, 2008. The NJ Midnight Society had our first official expedition earlier tonight, first to the rumored Albino Village in Clifton NJ. We were all pissed when we saw that it had recently been bulldozed and the land is to be used by Caldwell Banker. Fine, be that way. FIne, be that way. Then, we set our sights on The Devil’s Tree out in Bernard’s Township. I led the way with Frank, we walked right up to the tree and I was in the midst of explaining to him the history of it when a black ...

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: October 2008

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 30, 2008. Call it my To-Do Lists. Some repeats, some new, either way, it's gonna be interesting. Monday, October 27, 2008. One Big Happy Dysfunctional Family. I saved up some money and got myself a new camera. I went with a Casio Exilim series again because of the price, features, and above all… it was on sale. This time though, just for kicks, I got a cheap little carrying case for it so that oughta prolong it’s life right? I also got myself a warranty for it too. 8220;THERE IT IS!

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: November 2008

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 25, 2008. It was worth the trip, and the funny thing is. I've driven past it a thousand times and never even seen it before. My car from afar. This is the actual stairway, kinda unstable and falling apart but. Once you got a firm footing, easy to climb. And shes buying a stairway to heaven. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Flushing Meadows, Queens, NYC. Anybody else remember Men in Black. Sunday, November 2, 2008. First, let me get this out there: New Yorkers drive like assholes. Designed ...

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: The Old Jail on New Street

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2010/12/old-jail-on-new-street.html

Sunday, December 26, 2010. The Old Jail on New Street. Snow lightly falling, I ventured into the depths of Newark to the Science district around Rutgers to see the Old Jail of New Street. Built in 1837 for the staggering sum of $30,000 to replace it's predecessor that burned down two years before. Just to put that in perspective, that's about $14.5 to $16.5 million dollars in today's money. So, not getting much of an oppertunity to explore inside, I'll leave you with these shots. Be legendary, my friends.

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: February 2009

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 23, 2009. Camp Bluefields Part 1. Most know it as 'Tweed', an abandoned and mysterious complex of concrete tunnels, bunkers, and walls built atop Clausland Mountain in Blauvelt, NY. Many say it's haunted, frequently visited by Devil Worshippers, home of all manner of odd creatures, homeless, and graffiti artists. Well assumptions are the mother of all screw-ups and I want to take this oppertunity to apologize to Nicky for. Leading her on a series of wild-goose-chases through the woods.

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone… In A While: June 2009

http://akthejefe.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Having been told by I-kid-you-not dozens of people, I'm now selling some of my photos as prints and posters on the site RedBubble. Http:/ www.redbubble.com/people/LostLens. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. The Devil's Tree. got a haircut. Perhaps a better description would be 'amputation'. Two of the larger branches on the tree that supposedly were used to hang people from, have as of May this year been hacked off. The following shots show it as of this afternoon. Or what if a previous tr...
