    I have always been interested in going into places like that but do not think I would ever of thought to spend nights on a ship in the fleet like that!

    Chernobyl and Centralia PA are on my list to go see.

    crazy, I used to live right there in Benicia on Suisun bay. I used to see those ships everyday and I always wanted to explore them, but the opportunity never presented itself. glad to see someone had the gumption to go out and explore them.

    Plenty of ghost towns right here in Indiana. Hindostan was just featured in a Chamber of Commerce publication.

    My old landlord used to have the original platt of the town of Tippecanoe in his office. A ghost town that never was.:D

    I really enjoyed reading their story until I made it to the comments and it turned into a big political bashfest.

    That's what happens in comments sections all over. Are you new to the internet? I didn't even bother with the comments. That wasn't what I went to read.

    Did you ever start something that you thought would be ok then it crashed and burned in front of you?:D The first few comments were ok but it went down hill after that. Kind of reminds me of the comments on some youtube videos. The video has nothing to do with politics but the comment section is full of them. It's sad really.
