they get deep some are as deep a 30,000 feet i bet yours is at least 10 or 20 im just wondering why they abandoned its water source that last for years

I'm not sure but it's in a old Chicago Burlington Quincy railroad yard now owned by Burlington Junction railroad but this part of the yard is owned by some one else and is abandoned

that spot looks legit! lots of rewarding little projects to fill the day with, plus being outfar enough to not worry constantly about being discovered is worth whateveer you gotta put into it. pups looked really happy so that's always good, have they barked at anything in the night or are the woods silent which could be eerie as fuck after looking at some of those pics

Tarp could cover the door for now

I’m thinking a something along the lines of a Buffalo Bill death pit? Within just a few simple imprisonments the death pit/ pit of despair could turn into its own source of revenue.

Checked out a couple of train books FTo read to my some before, before bed. One of those books is about trains. Fyi - super stoked about this one.



Ps - I just forgot to men-chain that I took my some to the library this evening and let him check out five new books.



How deep is that hole in the floor? Would be cool to have a large basement space you could keep your things in, and cover the entrance with a rug or something less obvious like a tarp

You could try siphoning the water out of the hole with a garden hose, have to make sure the far end is lower to get it to flow but a long enough hose (or two) ran into a nearby ditch might work.

Cardboard works surprisingly well for covering openings, as long is its not getting wet of course. Ive never made a cardboard door but i dont see why not.

Today we went and did some scavenging runs at some abandoned homeless camps nearby. One thing I found that I have to go back soon is mattress. It's basically foam but those are a lot softwr then the wood pallet holding us above the hole to hell.

We mapped out the area to the effect that we have several places to dumpster dive as well as several blessing boxes we can go to.honestly the only thing I'm worried about is the fact that I'm working two jobs ( or working at all ) . There's no one here during the night acroos the street but there is during the day and that freaks me out with Marmadukes loud bark. Just want some opinions on if we should keep working for a while or save up a certain amount and quit when we get to a certain goal
