Another photo of the Graffiti Highway in the ghost town Centralia. This place is magical and eerie all at the same time. #abandonded #beautiful #adventures #urbanexploration #graffiti #centralia #silenthill
#adventure Graffiti Highway,is a popular tourist attraction in Centralia, Pennsylvania about two and a half hours northwest of Philadelphia. The nearly one-mile stretch of Route 61 is a profusion of color in a mostly abandoned ghost town. The story of the Centralia Mine Fire begins in the spring of 1962, when, according to Ripleys.com, the residents were preparing for their Memorial Day festivities. Thinking the best way to clean up a sprawling, 300-foot landfill would be to set it on fire, they did just that, having no idea the blaze would continue for more than 50 more years. The smoldering fire "latched onto an old coal seam from the mine," explains Ripleys, "and slowly spread throughout the mines under the city." Over time, a pattern emerged: Fires appeared and then would be doused. But nothing could stop them from coming, and the stench of burnt trash filled the air. Eventually, the town was condemned and now only a handful of residents remain.

Branchdale was perfect for our large family time, the location was beautiful, we enjoyed some hiking, sledding. And stayed cozy with the crackling fire. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the openness of the main floor.
