I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
I can remember this place went there in the 6th grade for one of those educational trips. Had a great time. This was a real fun place. Now all the buildings are gone and it is just woods.
