Anyone know of any great spots to go and explore now in 2016? How would I get into Lorton Prison without attracting the attention of the popo.

I am a beginner in terms of urban exploration but athletic so are there any good spots to see some cool stuff without getting into trouble due to inexperience?

You missed your chance! The former Lorton Prison site will soon be undergoing major construction as a FFX Cty contractor begins tearing buildings down and gutting other buildings to turn the former prison site into apartments, town homes and retail space.

Aww, thats unfortunate...

Are there any other really cool places that are still around? Most of these posts are from 2010 and from what I hear a lot of the information is rather obselete.

Anywhere cool?

I would NOT fuck around with Lorton prison. The place is well guarded, most of this is county owned land now and most of the buildings are in disrepair and have very high fencing anyway. Plus there are thorns and ticks like mad all around the prison grounds.

There are paths now where you can walk around for miles seeing most of the buildings but going inside is a bad idea.

Seriously? NO WAY would I live in any of those buildings occupied by prisoners, not with all the killings and stuff. There MUST be some spirits there!!

There are 2 across from a Harris teeter. One was a hotel abandoned mid construction during the crash.The other was a car rental place. Here is the google maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Freedom+High+School+Driveway,+Chantilly,+VA+20152,+USA/25401+Eastern+Marketplace+Plaza+%23150,+Chantilly,+VA+20152/@38.9066194,-77.4826553,1211m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89b641930432e56b:0xc518f73349437eb!2m2!1d-77.5365047!2d38.9131399!1m5!1m1!1s0x89b6418fffffffff:0xa720ea612fa5a58d!2m2!1d-77.489425!2d38.915127

Both buildings are between Pleasant valley united Methodist church and the harris teeter. to get to the second one you need to go to the back of the hotel and follow the cones towards 50.

I was going to suggest that abandoned house on Frying Pan Road, the one just before the intersection with Sunrise Valley Drive, but I recently found out that it was torn down a few years back.

It was also a fun place to party, circa 2004.

Can't recall the aforementioned abandoned house on Frying Pan Road.

13710 Frying Pan Rd,
Herndon, VA 20171

That's the address.

Thanks for keeping things alive. We don't recall the house at this address...
The barn was still there, hidden amongst the growth, in February 2016. Recent construction may have finally eliminated that? And, never partied there circa any date... lol. Go Penguins!

phoenix drive in fairfax/oakton area!!

Underground,

Do you know of any tunnels, bunkers, or anything else exciting around the Madison high school area? I'm really bored, I tried to get Access to the air vents but they all have screws witch would take to long to get off

The house that I mentioned was across the street from that place.

I've been there several times back in the 90s. Really creepy, but cool. You can find the tunnels still, but they may be flooded.

There are two extant buildings on the South side of Frying Pan Rd. at this location. One is an inhabited home. The other is an abandoned house or shed that is overgrown with foliage. Between, these two; the original entrance drive for Horsepen Farm is visible with the stone structures marking the driveway entrance. New signage along Rt. 28 and Frying Pan Road are advertising sale of this large property that encompasses the entire South corner of Rt. 28 & Frying Pan Rd. The old silo on the property won't be around much longer.

Did anyone ever check out that house at the corner of Guinea Road and Zion Drive before it was torn down?

Always wondered what that place looked like, old frame farm house type?

Former Weatherman's House (search on FFXU) on Rt.606/Old Ox Rd across from Pebble Run Drive. House and barn were recently dozed. Root cellar behind the house was still there in Jan. 2016. Lots of bottles/trash on the decaying steps. Might be worth a visit if the property remains accessible.

The site partially intact and is used as a storage and maintenance facility by Fairfax County.

Or were you referring to the old Burke post office building that was put on that site?

Went there several times when it was being rented by friends of a friend. One of them dropped acid once and had a really bad trip. Had to be taken to the hospital. This was back in the early 90's.

You're talking about the former home at 13710 Frying Pan Road, right? This place: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/13710-Frying-Pan-Rd-Herndon-VA-20171/51729009_zpid/

We also used to hang out at Presidents Park ( https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9583688,-77.4249894,122m/data=!3m1!1e3 ) when there was just one office building and the parking garage. As long as you were not a douche and took your trash with you they didn't mind if you hung out there on weekends.

I didnt see the well, is it behind the house? I wasnt there long because of the sketchy parking situation. Cool spot though, thanks for the pics.

There is this place just outside Vienna (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.889825,-77.2798427,3a,60y,166.64h,61.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWzODjkk9bCxKe_ym6QIrsA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).

SOME WERE CAUGHT. many weren't.

We used to explore the old Nike missile site off of Popes Head Rd. At one time you could descend into the underground missile bays and control center and explore the above ground barracks and admin buildings. The last time I was there, early 80s. The entrance to the missile bays were welded shut. But the rest of the site was open. Also there was an abandoned National Guard site just down the road less than a mile from the Nike site. There could be other Nike sites in the area, they used to ring DC. But I would be surprised if they weren’t locked down or converted to a park like the one in Great Falls. A lot of the good stuff is gone unfortunately.
