Oktoberfest 2013

  • Cloudsplitter Gondola

    The quickest way to the top of Little Whiteface! 

  • Almost to the top!

    Nearly there! And an amazing view of the surrounding mountains.

  • Base camp

    A better view of the festivities below. The line across the picture is the arm-size cable hauling our gondola to the summit.

  • Ticket

    My "Cannon" and my ticket.

  • Horn artwork

    Very pretty!

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

  • Overgrown

    Tree blocking a doorway.

  • Garage Door

    Outside view of another building showing the decay of the area.

  • Safety for All
  • No Entrance

    Back door to the machine shop.

  • Another office.

    Some sort of office area, completely rotted out.

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!
