I think it was a most educational page. I would like to see this place it reminds me of something I read in a old science fiction novel. It wasnt about aliens or things but jsut waht would our citys be like if a nuclear catastrophie happend

I am used to dangerous things like this. I havent done it in a year now but I used to go and explore old mines and stuff and they are full of 1000 foot drops and Dangerous chemicals and fumes. Not to mention may still have Mercury all over the place

Actually, I read some more.

I hope here explanation of radiation exposure and safe levels of roentgens is correct.
Still, the notion that staying in the middle of asphalt makes things safe is rather naive.

But I also am fascinated by the mind involved here. Why do this? But also, why NOT do this?

You are all of course assuming that the anecdotes are true. Not that I doubt them necessarily, but the possibility of them being "tall tales" does exist.

Esqy,

Check out some of her photos. Some place her at what look to be the real deal. Plus she's got a shot of the sarcophagus that looks original to me.

Staying over the road keeps all the radiation in the soil away from you.

This is one of the best reads on the net. Crazy? Crazy is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Therefore, this doesn't qualify.

Amazing personal journal if you were to ask me.

I personally really loved it, the story, pictures. It was a really great and interesting read. It makes me want that game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl" because apparently the devs are making a really good recreation of the dead zone, in a great engine with lots of realism. So if all goes well one day we could be exploring a virtual chernobyl, cept with gloomy mutants and undead dogs and stuff. But it must be a real thrill to sit in a car and drive real fast through a buncha hazard zones and stuff hehe. I like the whole Red Forest thing, where the trees glowed red. I actually heard the biggest mistake ever made was burying them in the ground.

I ended up reading the whole thing, what a great story. You can tell she is really passionate about the whole thing. You'd have to admit that it would be creepy driving through an abandond town like that.

OT: Supposedlythe map in Stalker is supposed to be an almost exact recreation of the exclusion zone.
