Awesome.

Was it a guided tour?

I love that place! Great pics! I want to go back there so bad. Do they still offer the optional overnight visit? I know they used to do it a few years ago.

they all look amazing, definitely an interesting place id like to visit

Looks like a safe place and fun for the kids. :lol:

very, very nice!

No guided tour. They have an audio tour which I declined and just walk around. Overnight stay would be sweet

They dont allow kids under 10 yrs because there is lead paint. We were unable to tour it because we had our 4yr old daughter with us.

Anyone ever watch Ghosthunters on Sci Fi? They did a couple investagations in there and found some interesting thigs on film..

Yep, the first one they did was before they had the show. I met them at a seminar they did in south jersey back in like '03 or '04 and they were talking about Eastern State.

They have some crazy **** on film and on recorders. Very cool show..

pics look great! makes me really want to go in and take some of my own!

Wow i think it might be cleaner then some prisons still in use

I want to go back and take more haha it hasnt even been a week. Its a really awesome place and the lighting is constantly changing

it looks gorgeous! i'd want to go on a super sunny day and then a really bright over cast one to see how everything looks different.. what kind of camera are you using?

maybe a njfboa meet?

Looks like something straight out of your worst nightmare! I can just see Freddie Kruger jumping out from behind one of thos doors. You couldn't pay me enough to spend a nite there ALONE in one of those cells:rofl:. Just imagine what it must have been like when it was a working prison. What is the history of that place?

Depends on how many cars show up. Parking is pretty tight around there and that parking lot they have fills up pretty quick!

You stole the words right out of my mouth...definitely a good idea.

in Pennsylvania?

Never.

Ever?

99.9999214589% never-ever. I guess I need to leave a minute opening. But NJ only is part of the monthly meet criteria

What if we rent a helicopter and lower ourselves into the prison, that way we don't have to touch Pennsyltucky ground?

They have a pretty big parking lot next to it. I'm using a rebel xti with a sigma 18-250 lens. Non of them photos are edited which Im proud of I've been getting alot better but need more practice with the new lens. I know alot of my pics are dark but I like them like that adds to the natraul light of the place
