As some of you know I like to goto places that are abondon or supposly haunted. If you know of any let me know, but if there on the internet Ive probably been there. I was reading about this place on the internet that was supposly a old ski area. My friend and I checked it out one day. Its located in Cary off Cary Road.
Stuff I found on the internet:
"Cary - Cary Road - St. Barnabas - This place was torn down @ October 1997. Whatever this "place" was abandoned and in sad shape probably dating back to the 1960s or 70's at the least. What?s left if it is still forest but it all once stood across the street. A silo still stands as well. There was an old house (originally built in the late 1880s at first guess) overlooking Cary Rd and behind that was to us what was a "ski lodge" and further down from that were remnants of an old park district -- complete with tennis courts, a concession/locker room building and a huge in ground pool. None of this made any sense from a common-sense point of view. And all of this was in the confines of a huge forest. No old roads, no parking lots, nothing that should have been there was there. Witnesses have clearly heard heavy boot steps and young female voices calling their names. Cleary nobody else was within three-football fields distance from them and they were the only ones there. what the place was or what its functions were is not known and the police are really reluctant to tell anyone what the place once was and patrol the area to keep the curious away. "
"This is going way back in time but I think you are talking about what used to be a ski area called Fox Trails, built in the early 1960's. The A-frame building later housed a night club called Harry Hopes. I remember going to HH last in 1978 and I used to ski there in 1967 or so, it was a pretty good ski run but since we don't get much snow and they had to rely so much on man-made, I don't imagine they made much money. There was an attempt to make it a year around attraction with a pool, etc., I thought it was bought years ago and turned in to home sites because I was a pretty property."
We started walking down the trail through the woods.
The first sign of a ski area, looks like part of a old chair lift.
A small building in the woods.
We found a small road.
Another building comes into view.
