Our Route Through Abandoned 717

We'll be traversing through various parts of central Pennsylvania as we seek out places frozen in time. Get ready for a lot of boarded up buildings, rusty rides, peeling paint, and earthquake-looking floors. Make sure to respect these locations and practice safety precautions while exploring.

First Stop: Old County Hospital

Our first stop takes us to an abandoned hospital complex with some unique architecture and an eerie vibe...

Next Up: Forgotten Steel Mill

After the hospital, we'll make our way over to a massive abandoned steel fabrication plant that was left to rot...

Other Stops Could Include:

  • Deserted old schoolhouses
  • Overgrown amusement parks
  • Crumbling churches and homes
  • And more! Feel free to build upon this outline

Let me know if you would like me to expand on any part of this introduction and outline for the abandoned locations day trip article targeting 717 explorers.

FAQs

Where exactly are we exploring?

We'll be exploring various abandoned and forgotten locations throughout central Pennsylvania's 717 area code region. This includes places in Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and surrounding towns.

Is exploring abandoned sites legal?

In most cases, no. These locations are usually private property, so we recommend taking necessary safety precautions and avoiding anywhere explicitly prohibited.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear good walking shoes or boots, long pants and sleeves for protection, a backpack, flashlights, protective mask, gloves, water, and your camera gear if photographing.

Is it dangerous?

As with any urban exploration, there are risks like unstable structures and exposed nails/glass. We don't recommend going anywhere that looks especially hazardous.

Can I join other 717 explorers?

Yes! Connect with fellow photographers and adventurers in the area through sites and groups dedicated to this hobby if you don't want to explore solo.
