Oktoberfest 2013

  • Tribute

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

  • Summit

    A short distance from the gondola drop-off, the peak of Little Whiteface.

  • Olympic Ski Jumps

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

  • Cloudsplitter Gondola

    The quickest way to the top of Little Whiteface! 

  • Trails

    Facing north, a good view of the ski trails connecting the two mountains.

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)
  • Workshop

    Inside another building, some sort of workshop.

  • Abandoned Excavator

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

  • Overgrown

    Tree blocking a doorway.

  • Safety for All
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!
