ACME Factory

November 2012

On this gloomy day in November, the adventure of the day takes us to the ACME factory. A very large industrial site abandoned for ages in the middle of nowhere.

Apparently, this site has had to undergo very few visits since its abandonment. Once on site, we can easily understand why : as of old disemboweled buildings devoured by nature, the unsuspected traps are numerous. Between invisible holes, concrete structures just waiting to fall and the air saturated with some rooms, we feel the omnipresent danger. And the many archives or vestiges of the activity show that they did not make grape juice.
Just like the late SAFEA factory, the many buildings are isolated from each other. This type of plan is found in the chemical or explosive industry, just to avoid contagion in case of trouble : it's better to lose a unit than the entire site.

As we are in November, darkness falls quickly and this has severely limited visiting time. Given the size of the thing, a few more hours would have been welcome to go around. Shortened tour so, but very nice.

As a reminder, this site is extremely dangerous : don't go alone and take precautions. Or better yet, just don't go !
