That's the Alby St quarry- That's just one quarry there in Alton. There's a bigger one couple miles away still extremely active. The quarries were a major source of revenue and helped sustain the town during the great depression. I've been at that quarry a few times as a truck driver 15 yrs ago to get loads of rock.. Thats not an abandoned house, that was the main office for the quarry Thats an old quarry. Many streets there still have chunks of limestone for curbs on the old brick roads goin back into 1800s.. So much history here in Alton.. Lincoln debated Douglas there in Alton before he was President; Elijah Lovejoy was killed there- an anti- slavery journalist.. The underground railroad was active there with underground tunnels from houses leading down to the river (still there), There's remnants of a prison there from the Civil War. There are also reported to be several haunted houses there and tours are given of them during Halloween, mostly. There's the Piasa Bird painting on the great river road on the bluffs- an ancient native American 'myth' going way back. And the tallest man in the world, Robert Wadlow, was born n lived there.. Alton is full of great history.. U shoulda stayed longer bro. It's a fascinating town I live in

That was great - thank you for taking the time to create/upload - great video.

Cool video bro hope you have a good time this summer

Awesome scenery great video

The first building was a scale house/office. The second one you came to was a maintenance area where the tool room and lockers were. The various conveyors stacked material in the round shaped lot at that far end . 335 feet deep from surface to pit floor but it's taken on a lot of water.

Have you ever listened to the Van Morrison album called Hymns to the Silence

I thought you were going to lose that drone once it went over the water. Pretty interesting footage to say the least.

Hey Travis what kind of drone is that or should i ask which drone brand/model are you using in the video ?

Good drone video Travis, I get the same way every time I take mine out to fly... Scared to let it go out of my line of site, even though that's what they are made to do... I just can't stand the idea of $1,000 bill just flying away.

Thats very cool. I have a DJI mini2 and it takes really decent video like that. What drone do you have?

Good flying vidio

Nice!

Why won'tthe DJI controller for the Mini3 work with the mini2? I was told they would eventually... But not yet.

👍#42🇺🇸🤳🚗🏃💨❤ Nice Ride

Great use of the Drone T. Looks like you found a satellite branch of the Ozark drug Cartel.

I go swimming there :)

Some of the water in the quarry was a lovely shade of blue-green, but that was probably because it's toxic.

year late 70s early 80s you did not play there one did die there i think long ago

I've purchased 3 drones. I killed two of them. Maybe third times the charm. Peace Brother

Don't get too skilled with the drone T. The military will want to recruit you for the upcoming China shoot out. Drone operators will be in demand.

Some hillbilly drug cartels will skin you alive, Deliverance.
