Mainlogo The Underground Booty Squad

The Underground Booty Squad explored this early march of 2024, the second time was around a week after that. We were a group of 5 both times we went. The exploration was huge and we found new rooms and areas the second time we went. And we suspect there may even be more we havent yet seen.

What We Saw / Security

lituphallway

The whole building after 20 years of no maintenance had begun to crumble, the building still stands solid structurally but the walls have begun to crust up, and many things have started to rot. The entrance road to the sanatorium seems to be to the disadvantage of any security that could be called, the whole thing is gated off by 2 gates and lastly the whole perimeter has a barbed wire fencing around it (but there's a man sized hole of course). As long as you park far enough away from the entrance there is no real risk of any suspicion to arise and nor any reason for cops to be called. Its deep enough in the woods that someone from the road shouldnt be able see any flashlights, this means the exploration is safe to take place at night. The main road right outside the entrance is still very much active, and that is why you should park some ways away and walk to the entrance. Overall a safe and low risk exploration as of Spring 2024.

Personal Safety

Ice - We went in the Spring so it was kind of cold out still, and the basement was full of Ice including a lot of the stairs.
Air Quality - The air inside was extremely dusty as well as the tons and tons of mold everywhere on the walls. The best suggestion is to buy a P100 rated mask from menards or elsewhere, that will protect against any possible asbestos that may or may not be present.
Clothing/Gear - When it's cold outside it's not as cold inside, so don't overdress, bring clothes whether or not its cold or not. Gloves could be ideal for opening door, picking something up and protection against tetanus on rusty things. Flashlight would be also something important to bring
