Me and brute decided one night to explore, randomly of course as usual. Just me and him when he picked me up, everyone had bailed, happens occassionaly. We were however faced with a slight dilema. We didnt feel like really driving to st. paul since it was already near 4am. So we decided to go check out a site not too far from where we were. It was alot of mills I had noticed before on the way to a computer shop i goto occassionaly. Later finding out it was nicknamed Mill Hell.

There are over 6 mills & grain elevators in the designated area. We decided to check out the closest one from walking distance of where we parked. It happened to be the ADM Mill. Since it was in front of us, we decided it was kind of not the best place to just walk up to. We took a detour around to the end of it through a random hick town, I swear to you, if you've been to ADM you know what i mean.

We got up to the building unnoticed. Checking out along the side we figured it was pretty locked up. Turning a corner we found a door. This is where brute comes in handy, he simply used his strength and pushed it open, where I wasnt able to.

Upon entering we noticed how we had entered what had at one point been an office part of the mill. There were offices, meeting rooms, bathrooms, and a locker room. Moving past this after thoroughly searching through it we discovered there was nothing blocking entrance to the mill itself. So on we went.

Our little recon turned into a full scale adventure. God I love it when this happens. Unexpected pleasure, kind of like your girlfriend randomly coming through the door and then proceeding to cuddle with you on your couch when you least expect it. That kind of unexpected pleasure.

We explored what we could on the lower levels of the complex, but there wasnt much to really explore, typcial mill. We found a couple staircases leading upward, however since Brute dosnt really like going up staircases he can see through, we took a rain check since splitting up dosnt meet much common sense.

To return another day!
