Photographing abandoned America?

After seeing a couple of thread topics about abandoned buildings, I got motivated and started looking for options.  I just came across this site: abandonedamerica.us

Anyone here attend this one before?

Trolley grave yard looks cool.  I wonder how often they have access to these places?

No I never attended, and most likely would not. As far as the abandoned part I like doing it when I can. My thing is when I can do it, is sniffing out Ghost towns. Another type of area you have to be careful in.

Some of the locations don't look abandoned.  They have lights on?

Never attended it, but the photos on the site look pretty great. Might be a fun time exploring abandoned areas with other photogs.
