My last post was a power plant and I'm pretty sure this place is too, though I couldn't find any history on it. This was a really cool, completely unplanned and unexpected explore.…

My 101st Urban Ex post.. w00t! Time flies, I wonder what lies in my next hundred spots? :D This abandoned Power Plant was nick named the Gates of Hell by explorers before me. I don…
