Conquering Turkey Vulture Tower

This old Long Lines tower has been a foe of mine for about a year or so now, due to the fact that when we last tried it, one of the group I was with got vertigo and quit. We headed down with him, never to return again. I had told ClimbingDoug the story, and he said we should correct that. So, we did. With warnings of Turkey Vultures at the top, we ascended into the sky. Once at the top, I snapped off a few shots while admiring the view. A few minutes later the turkey vultures appeared, pissed off we were in their territory, right beside their nest. We managed to keep them a distance away with the sounds of our voices, snapped a few more photos and headed back to earth, where Cambria had been patiently waiting for us. Another wonderful climb. Notice the vultures flying around in a few of the photos.

Important News!

While updating the website yesterday, I reached my quota for the free space allowed by Blogger for one account. No worries though, I've already spent the time to make and publish a new Abandoned Dreams website.

You can find the new website here at:

I will be using the new site to finish out the 2010 year, so if you want to keep in the know of what Abandoned Dreams is up to, check us out on the new site.

Climbing The Complex

This location has popped up on the site a few times in the past. Easily accessible rooftops with a decent view. This time I brought along Catherine, CD, and Cambria.

The Training School

Sick of dealing with some personal shit I got going on, I called up a few old friends and we made plans to state hop and explore and old training school. Along for the trip was Cambria, Zeke, Fifteen, and myself. We arrived a bit late, but still checked out a few buildings. Pretty decent little place, and I'm sure we'll return in the future. Damned good waste of a day.
