Okay, might also post a thread for this on /x/
Let me give you guys the run-down
>Dawson Forest exists today as a park but it hides a secret that a lot of people call "Georgia's Area 51"
>most documents are classified but from what's been released the reactor was with Lockheed Martin and involved in two separate experiments
>First, they tried to create a nuclear powered aircraft that could theoretically stay in the air indefinitely
>When this failed (too much radiation) they tested the effects of radiation on the rural forest by lifting the reactor out of the core and exposing it, supposedly all the leaves fell off and birds would drop out of the sky
>reports of people along the supply road getting horrible cancer and pine trees showing spoopy mutations
>main reactor building torn down in a really shitty job, up until a few years ago people would bring shovels and explore inside the control room
>you could see the place was flooded and still had heavy machinery rotting in the stagnant water
I was there a few years ago searching for the reactor storage building, which (again, all really vague) is supposed to exist. Finding directions is hard, when I asked a few people wandering around on the trails, I either got weird looks or people that just plain refused to talk.
Just the other day I found coordinates for the building from a GeoCache website.
Of course I won't hop the fence (I'm not that fucking stupid) but I wanted to know if anyone else has heard of this or been there? I've taken a real interest in environmental disasters and hiking, and I'd like to see it - from a distance.
