Oktoberfest 2013

  • Horn artwork

    Very pretty!

  • Cloudsplitter Gondola

    The quickest way to the top of Little Whiteface! 

  • Olympic Ski Jumps

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

  • Tribute

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

  • Lake Placid

    Facing west, the view of Lake Placid from the mountain.

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

  • Exit (Entrance)
  • Machine Shop

    Judging from the abundance of 440 volt hookups in the building, this likely was some sort of machine shop.

  • Abandoned Excavator

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

  • No Entrance

    Back door to the machine shop.

  • Workshop

    Inside another building, some sort of workshop.

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!
