Thinking about going to Centralia.

Who has been before, or recently? Is there anything in particular i should be sure to see? It is "open" to the public. Correct? Last i heard there are still a few people living there. Are they still there? Is there anything i should avoid?

Btw, I may be taking my brother- in- law, who is a photographer, with me. is there anything there thats really awesome that he would need to get pics of?

I went there in May of this year on my way to see a customer.
It is a little strange to see all the roads cross but there are just the empy lots with overgrown grass.

Here are few pics....

If you go, I would park near the cemetary, there is a section there that is paved in concrete, kind of looks like a sidewalk. From there, you can walk to the closed portion of PA-61. It's only about 1/4 mile walk to get to the section that is badly buckled and cracked. I've been there probably 2 dozen times in the past 10 years, and no one has ever said anything to me about looking around.

Here's a shot of yours truly posing along the highway.... This is several years ago.
