Snowy Socks

With the blizzard behind us, I got out to get a few pictures in the fresh snow. First I went to Elton's Drain and then to the Stuck-Up Bridge.

Elton's Drain

Today I decided to dust off the old urbex gear and get out for the first time in months. I recently saw a location on Ryan Ademan's facebook page about this Rhode Island drain. He was kind enough to give me the location, and so I set off.

The drain was built by the WPA in 1941 out of mainly stone and bricks. It opens up into a large straight distance of drain easy to walk through to a smaller brick drain that I went a fair bit down, but it seems to go on for quite a while, curving slightly north. I might return soon for some better shots, especially in the snow.

The drain, exterior. They don't make storm drains like they used to.

This is what the drain flows out into--a mossy stone stream which carves through the woods.

From inside.

The 716 Drain

Today Calypso and I hit four spots in Rhode Island, starting with All Saints Drain. Afterwards, we headed over to the nearby 716 Drain, rain boots and all. The drain is actually not entirely a drain; storm water does flow into it, but it is primarily an extended underground stretch of the Moshassuck River. It is composed of two "hallways" through which the river is split, with doorways between the two along its length. On the right hallway (if one enters from the cemetery), there is a smaller area which leads to a few different drain outflows off of a main room.

Looking back from the drain.

Accidental blur here that I used to my advantage.

A massive spider web I found.

Fish! There were many of them swimming along in some sections.
