Water Street Farm , NJ
This is a farm that was populated until the year 2001, I've
discovered paperwork, and magazines that date to late January of that year.
It appears to be used as an equipment and vehicle dump, for some jerk whose
never heard of a junkyard.
The first thing you will come across, walking a half mile through woods to get
here is a tractor.
It seems to have been ditched in quite a hurry, as if it were still moving when
the operator jumped off.
This is the road, now so overgrown from lack of use. This grass, is about four
feet tall. I have my camera on a tripod at about five.
This is the farmhouse.
Here are some of the vehicles. I counted no less than 15 different ones here,
and I'm sure there are more I can't see under the brush.
Plants are actually growing inside this truck, pretty cool.
This Chevy Caprice Classic, this is the only car that looks like it hasn't been
here that long at all. It must be a new addition to the lot.
Right then, the farmhouse.
The kitchen.
As with a house I've been to in
Walpack, NJ, I discovered some ammunition in a cabinet.
Only one of these 12 gauge shotgun shells was still live.
Upstairs.
A girls bedroom.
The middle of the upstairs floor, looks like it was used for storage before it
was abandoned.
It has a computer in here, so that can give us clues, but only clues, as to how
recently it was abandoned.
The master bedroom.
The kids room, my room is the same color! :D
On to the barns now.
Inside the barn on the left of the previous picture, though you can't really see
it there.
Not much interesting in here at all.
In one of the barns, there also is this vintage Honda 300. It looks to be from
the mid 40's - 50's.
This is the barn in the middle of the 4th previous picture, where one
unfortunate animal met an unlikely end.
I almost walked face first into the things corpse.
First I snapped off these two pictures.
I figured it would be another empty room, with minor opportunity for anything
interesting.
Then I felt something hard against my head.
I turn, and have the legs of what appears to be one very dead deer in my face.
My guess is that it fell through the extremely rotten floor, and couldn't free
itself.
I've no idea how it got on the second floor , there's no way up that I could
find.
I've also found bones in a silo, and how they got in THERE, I have no clue.
In an attempt to see the remains of the deer better, I got creative, and set the
self timer on my camera, hoisted the camera by the tripod through a hole in the
ceiling, only to be thwarted by a wall between me and the deer.
This is an interesting place to visit, if you decide to go, find the table in
the house with names written in the dust.
Write your first, last, initial, or nickname on it too!
