i've been visiting this old cement plant in ohio somewhat frequently for a while and have seen it change quite a bit, but the secret that lies beneath has remained the same for as long as i've known it.

this spot is locked behind a gate with bright lights and cameras all around it now. i had good luck parking elsewhere and following the treeline all the way back to the gravel, but this would not be easy during the day or when the traffic is heavy.

if you manage to get in, the place still looks just as stunning as it always has on the surface, with incredible photo opportunities around every corner, plenty of odd nooks and crannies to explore, and a gorgeous view of the river. if you do your research, something much bigger awaits.

if things go south and you encounter security from the facilities or police, know that the local law enforcement has done destructive entry training at the plant (the dummy doorframes are still standing) so they are likely to be familiar with the layout - i would recommend making a hasty retreat across the river.

p.s. don't let him out!
