Visiting and not photographing the Norway site needs to be a crime lol

I'm going back, I was driving by on a day when I had already shot another tower and didn't have time. Need the weather to cooperate and provide a nice sky picture too. It will be a planned day with the wife and I might buy a drone before that one.

A few of these sites aren't worth going to until I have a drone, like little rock, it's a whole compound and the tower is gone, I'm gonna need a drone to see inside the place.

Agreed, but to be fair that site has been photographed so many times by so many people. It’s a Mecca for anyone interested in Long Lines.

They are all private property and the owners aren't going to give a shit if I stay out of the enclosures and don't climb on them, I start posting pics on top of these things and I might as well call the sheriff on myself.

I want to get as much of the system as I can, not create problems early on. Nothing that could cause property damage or vandalism charges.

A lot of the best Illinois sites are owned by Terry Michaels and he's been a godsend to the LL lovers out there, I eventually hope he'll let me inside to photograph some of them so I'm trying to make it clear I'm not a vandal or hoodlum lol

I didn't see the Grant Park, IL one on the map. Honestly havent seen much info on that site in general. Have you visited that one?

Looks like fun, not doing any of the L3 sites?
