The Great Pyramid of Bedford-Needmore, Indiana

Largely forgotten in the woods of rural Indiana, the Great Pyramid of Bedford-Needmore is a monument to poor planning coupled with government spending.  Little more than a disorganized pile of stones, this is all that remains of $700,000.00 effort to build a limestone "amusement park" near the so-called Limestone Capital of America, Bedford Indiana.

The collapsed Crooked Creek Bridge - Madison, Indiana

The abandoned bridge that crosses Crooked Creek in Madison used to be a part of State Route 56 until the present Clifty Hollow Road replaced the route.  The bridge is accessible by following an unmarked path at the bottom of the Madison Heritage Trail.  Parking is available at the bottom of the trail at the end of McIntire Street, so don't be like me and park at the other end of the Heritage Trail unless you're down for a good walk all the way up hill back to the car.

The abandoned Zoom Floom Waterpark - Bloomington, Indiana

The abandoned Zoom Floom waterpark is located near Bloomington, Indiana on Lake Monroe.  The park was once a popular summer destination for families around the area, but was later closed down to safety concerns and the high cost of insurance.  The big concrete water slide is still dug into a hill near Lake Monroe, and has now become a popular destination for local graffiti artists.

Abandoned home near Bowling Green, Kentucky

A friend of mine in Indiana showed me around on a trip to his family's farm near Bowling Green, KY.  We used an ATV to access remote abandoned homes and miscellaneous junk on the property.

Abandoned homestead - Clark County, IN

These pictures were taken back in 2008, and as you can imagine the house is in much worse shape now.  However, it is still standing.  There are some local legends about a man who murdered his family in this home, but that sort of story can go along with any creepy house that's found in the middle of nowhere.
