For those wishing to visit, you can park on Middle road just past the entrance to Luzerne County Community College. There is a yellow gate at the beginning of the dirt road. If open, drive in- though it is very muddy at times. Be sure to check out the creepy basements.

I went MD'ing in the "city" this morning, couldn't wait any longer. This is the place if you like to dig targets, though 99% will be junk. Set your discriminate on kill and come on in.
