A few of us who've been doing it for a while seem to get quieter and quieter... the rampant destruction of a few historic buildings and super increased security are all factors contributing to why.

I respect someone asking to keep a place quiet; I wouldn't tell my own girlfriend, much less my friends, it's just a scummy thing to do. More often than not, info is traded, sometimes freely given to close friends. I give fellow people a heads-up if I know something, like "They're doing construction in building 136," if they are headed there.

I don't mind showing a cool person who's never done this a neat place or two if I have the time, but I don't like the idea of holding someone's hand at every location thereafter... if you can't face something alone, you probably shouldn't be in these places.

I've seen three walk-in autoclaves or near-sized ones so far, the third isn't posted yet!

Nah, this was one of the few things left in the entire place.

Yeah, it was watered by a leaky roof.

I think sunlight was coming through leaves over the window, which often casts a bright green light such as this.

Nah, there were so many!

I'll let anyone voice their opinion here, even if I disagree. And thank you for keeping this short and civil, much appreciated.

Possibly...

I don't remember a roof, I think it was on the first floor but there was a drop to the ground from the window.

Silkster, I would say it was a dormitory given the size, window and door placement.

ITS PRETTY !

Heh, nope I cannot read Braille, so I do not know what the book read. It did have a printed title, but I forgot what it was.

EEEWWW!

Not asking for any trade secrets since I'm not brave enough (or close enough) to explore these places, but do some of you who know each other from exploring the same places swap stories and locations of interesting things, or do you keep your exciting finds a closely held secret and let each other find stuff independently?

These days it's actually criminal for this to occur. With HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996) you can get a large fine and prison time for this ("if the offense is committed with intent to sell, transfer, or use individually identifiable health information for commercial advantage, personal gain, or malicious harm, be fined not more than $250,000, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both"), although there are lesser fines for just leaving things lying about as they did here.

I don't believe the law is retroactive, however, but it's still a damn shame to see these records exposed like this for all the world to see. Most health care professionals go to (and have always gone to) great lengths to keep client confidentiality, but once you leave the employ of an institution or agency they "own" the client files. This is something the state agency that ran the place or the previous healthcare facility owners should be slapped for.

In my humble opinion. :-)
