Oktoberfest 2013

Yodeler Show

Inside the Whiteface Lodge, the Yodelers teamed up with a traditional German band, DSB die Schlauberger.
Olympic Ski Jumps

Not the best photo, but I think it came out alright considering the range was about 12 miles.

Grounds

Looking out over the grounds of the area, many local vendors set up tents to show off their homemade products every year.

I really wish this photo came out better. Oh well!

Every October, the ski resort at Whiteface Mountain has a small Oktoberfest. Traditional German music, food, beer, and demonstrations are featured, and many local vendors come to show off their homemade crafts.

This is the first time I've gone in many years, and the first time I went being older than 21! It's a ton of fun and is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area during the skiing offseason.

Exploring Benson Mines

Transformer Gauge

The guts of the transformer were missing, probably stolen by copper thieves.
Worker's Desk
Office Building

One of the few two-story buildings, with major fire damage inside.
Abandoned Excavator

...With no bucket. Likely a Massey Ferguson 450.
No Entrance

Back door to the machine shop.

Benson Mines is a long-abandoned iron mine near Watertown, NY. The mine was shut down in 1978 and the buildings and have been completely abandoned ever since. Abandoned man-made structures are my favorite to take pictures of, so I couldn't resist exploring!
