Oktoberfest 2013

  • Up the cloudsplitter!

    Can't beat that view! This is why I love the Adirondacks.

  • Traditional Accordion Player

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

  • Selfie!

    This guy was awesome.

  • Looking down

    Halfway up the mountain, looking down.

  • Tribute

    A tribute to soldiers of a local division in WWII, a gift from Italy.

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

  • Workshop

    Inside another building, some sort of workshop.

  • Burned Steps

    Even older looking stairs - the mine has history back to the 1800s, but this is probably not that old. The building on top of it appears to have burned, leaving behind electric wires and boxes.

  • Another office.

    Some sort of office area, completely rotted out.

  • Worker's Desk
  • Abandoned Excavator's Engine
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!
