Been through there many times.
It was/is weird. Snow covers everything. Except town, it stays green all year.
I think even the last residents are out now, only the dirt bikers and quad guys ride through. The ways in have been bulldozed in the last few years because the fedgov got real serious about keeping folks out.
Good place to go hunting in the late season, because the critters like the warm spots.
Gotta watch the smoke coming up out the ground if you hunt, the monoxide can kill you, as it does to a lot of critters.
There are several mine fires in Pa., but Centralia is the most famous.
That's wise. I'd never drive a car through there, it's too heavy. The ground could literally swallow it up. I wouldn't walk through either Imagine getting CO poisoning before you could escape!?!
Only an ATV would do.
There was a great little website with an amateur short film I saw not too long ago. I wonder if anyone has the link.
