I have tons of photos of The Enchanted Forest on the site...Places like this are amazing and incredible! with the most beautiful architecture and sometimes disturbing but yet interesting history. Most people over look all of the abandoned and decaying things they pass everyday and ignore all the history and stories that are left behind with the crumbling buildings. This website shows it all and tells some history! its great! <br />Take a look! <br /><br />www.TheForgottenAmerica.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332986715311855922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-26022720219053645262014-04-06T22:22:37.189-07:002014-04-06T22:22:37.189-07:00Lee: I'm not sure which of those I'd pick....Lee: I'm not sure which of those I'd pick.
