Hey Carbon- I've been interested in checking out The Ladd- Whats the deal getting past security? I scouted it out last week but there were huge signs on both sides of the road that said Trespassing and that violators will be prosecuted.
My in-laws live on william reynolds- its the road on the back side of ladd. Last time i checked with them, "locals" could still go walking there without worry. I know that they're building a new Fire Fighter training station and i dont know if they've changed that policy. The buildings are officially off-limits but there are always ways in. Hiding your car will be an issue. I suggest parking on william reynolds or at the Pizza place on rt 2 and walking in.
During both our trips to Ladd we've seen locals walking dogs, but never any security. However when we went on our first trip Job Corps wasn't completely built yet so we were able to go about without worrying about our car or any of that. The last trip, we parked on William Reynolds Rd.
Awesome Thanks!! I was definitely thinking of walking in...seems way safer
ive heard people get mugged there so be aware
Yes, someone did post here that some friends of theirs got mugged at Ladd, also someone who got arrested but they never updated us on their court case or anything.
I did read the story of the group of kids getting mugged there..... Horrific bad luck for that group. No one is immune to bad luck but being a little older I would fear security and the state police much more than a group of "gangsters".
Someone had their car broken into as well. It was in the newspaper a year or so ago. I had also heard about some kids being threatened with a baseball bat. The muggers stole everything of value and then took off. Shitty
Its crazy to think that Ladd would be a good hideout for gangbangers especially with the cops keeping such a close eye on it.
I'm not so sure the cops really keep an eye on that place. Maybe at night. During the day the place is really dead except for one building at the northern end of the complex where people work (appears to be an office building of some sort.)
I think someone mentioned the possibility of the thugs being from job corps, seeing as they live right there.
Whenever I go to a location with cops or security its at night. Obviously I think it would be better in the day but I just think its such a bold move if you have a chance at getting nailed.
I don't explore at night anymore, the photography aspect sucks. Did a lot of exploring at night in 2003 but realized it's pretty difficult to find new locations at night LOL
During the day is ballsy, but totally doable, ESPECIALLY Ladd. I've only done Ladd during the day. NSH I did both during day and night, but that was 12 years ago and security was much different.
Think of it this way: if you don't have a vehicle of yours nearby to give you away, no one will be looking for you. This is true for almost every location, except NSH. Especially once you're inside. (Also a reason not to explore alone, you won't be found for a while if something were to happen and you got injured etc.) Take care not to be seen entering anywhere you go and you'll be fine. Except at NSH...those crazy security guards are freaking psychic.
I guess its just the fact that its state police on the grounds and I think they'd be more apt to chase me through the woods than some ordinary security guard. If you get busted with a crowbar can they charge you with B&E even if you haven't done anything yet?
I think a crowbar is the difference misdemeanor and felony, or at the very least between simple trespass and criminal trespass. Or possession of other so-called burglary tools.
Haha ok good to know, I have a real cheap crowbar and its of no consequence for me to lose it somewhere.
Had a great trip to a location that I had been hoping to get into for a little while. I brought a crowbar but unlike on a previous failed attempt, someone had recently smashed a window and I was able to gain access without breaking anything myself. I'm not sure how to post the pictures on here though.
I think you have to host them elsewhere or you might be able to upload them when you make a post (Insert Image) but for some reason if you do that they're only visible in internet explorer and not firefox.
OK cool i'll put them on FLICKR after my next trip(which will be my last to this locale)so that they are all together.
Damn!!..i have bad luck when it comes to ladd..i always run into the fuzz!..last time i went 5 state trooper cars came racing in beghind me...it turns out they must have been responding to something happening at the phoenix house...only one stopped and asked what i was doing there...told him i was looking for a shortcut to rt 2!!!...he bought it but that only works once!

He bought that?? Did he ask you if you noticed the 2 gigantic trespassers will be prosecuted signs on either side of the road?
who knows...guess he had bigger fish to fry! lucky for me
lol if you go the back way into Ladd you pass by no signs. You can drive right in via a dirt road on the south side (School Landwoods Rd) and I don't believe you pass any signs that way. Don't know if it's still dirt because it's been a few years lol.
I'm thinking going in on foot would be the best way to go. I can't think of any legit excuse to give a statie as to why I would be driving around there at night 45 minutes from home. There is nothing around there but farms. I'm stating the obvious here but since were approaching Halloween I'd imagine there would be a greater than usual number of idiot kids trying to get in there, and I'm sure the cops are aware of this as well.
School land woods road is still dirt. Exeter has no money and prefers to stay in the 18th century. Both entrances have signs now with the new fire training center being built.
wheres the new fire thing being built at?
and forget the signs lol. if i obeyed every sign i saw i wouldnt have a video of my car doign 160 and still pulling, i wouldnt have gone to NSH every day of 2008 and i wouldnt have started this thread either. :)
Its being built in the field north of fogarty.
Its been a so long. The story I had is of my 5 friends who went up on a friday night last year. They are not into ue or anything like that, just some idiots that heard of ladd school and thought it would be fun. They get there, get in a building and see a big group of people coming in. They tried to get out but were met at the exit by the group. Some carrying bats, one supposedly had an axe, and some had bb guns that my friends thought were real. Anyway, the "gang" makes them empty their pockets of phones, money, etc. One of my them thought they would be slick and stick his phone in his undies, well the phone slipped right out the bottom of his pants lol and one of the members put his "gun" to the back of his head and took the phone. They were escorted to a room while some of the gang went outside to the car, breaking a window and stealing the subs. After the ordeal my friends went to a police station and said what happened. Im not sure exactly what happened but they were caught, and my friends went to court. Supposedly they were a group of asian crips? Im not possitive. But that is all I have to say about the topic of crime at ladd. Moral of the story, stay away from ladd on nice friday nights.
lol @ asian crips. I assume they were kids since they had bb guns . . I always find it funny when some kids in some rural neighborhood are described as gang members. Here in NH every now and then some idiot will say they have "bloods" at their rural, all white, school. Scary. Were they ninjas too?
I wonder what they'd do when I pull out my (not bb) gun. I always explore during the day, it's just easier for me to figure where I am, how to get in and out and snap a couple pics. I also don't have to worry as much about noise or escaping light. I'd also think a car parked somewhere sticks out like a sore thumb at night.
Donna are you serious, watch this and then tell me that there aren't any gangstas in NH ^_^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3lEa7IOxO0
haha, yea manch is hard core. I was just there yesterday. People in NH think it's "the big city". When I see white kids rapping I want to punch them in the face. Why not just put on blackface and jump around with a bucket of KFC, same difference. I got a 603, I'm gangsta !
so your saying eminem is an idiot?
lmao you guys. When I was 10 everyone in my school was convinced that if they turned their blinker on in Norwich they'd get shot by the Latin Kings. ^_^

You can be rich and still be an idiot. He's a comedy act. It's called an opinion and it's useless to argue about it. I also don't appreciate the comedy of carrot top or subsidies for ethanol production. I don't suppose you'd want to listen to my opera records?
haha meg, I remember people telling me something like that, only it was if you flash your headlights at a car who didn't have their headlights turned on they'd have to shoot you to get into the gang.

you can have your opinion your correct
facts tho are best selling artist of the decade and all time.
:)
continue....
facts are facts, there are about 70 artists listed on the wiki page for most sales higher than eminem (best of all time?) He might be the highest seller of the 2000's which makes him basically the new Vanilla Ice. At least I can sleep tonight knowing Pavarotti has outsold eminem.
9 days later your still on this.....? sigh
admin - do we have an option to block people?
Then we could block you for bring it back almost a month later.
I know in SMF2 you can ignore someone's posts . . I guess you're stuck reading facts until IB gets an upgrade. Sucks doesn't it?
remember whos thread it is? mine. blocking for bumping my own thread? lol you expose your own stupidity. continue
FACT: Your post had nothing at all to do with the original post in this thread. Obviously you're enjoying our discussion, despite your feeble attempts at proving my opinion to be wrong and your whining about me taking a 9 day break from it. PROOF: You brought it back up after nearly a month.
It must take a special kind of person to consider actual research and presentation of facts to be "stupidity". Just to make sure you don't misunderstand, as your attempt at a comeback makes me think you may have a hard time doing so, I do mean "special" in a clinically moronic way. Look it up if you're still confused.

Are You done yet?

Yo Donna, I hope you weren't among one of these 4, Queen City!!!! Holla!

NH sounds raw and hood.
RI has some real hood spots AKA South Prov, CF, maybe some parts of West Warwick and Newport. Funny thing is though that these locations are loaded with great spots for urban exploring.
lmao. reppin!!!!
and how is newport in any sort of way whatsoever hood?! the only thing there maybe being suspect to hood is a tinted car thats not a bmw or mercedes lol
Oh shit, my subaru is tinted, does that mean I'm hood? :ph34r:

Seriously Carbon,
Newport has really hood parts. Ask anyone from NEwport and they will tell you.
I think people are reading too much into the name Little Compton. ^_^
Anyone who calls Newport hood obviously hasn't been to Norwich, where we're having like weekly drivebys now and some hoodrat was just caught waving a gun around a Dunkin Donuts parking lot. (so guess how fast he got arrested! lollll dumbass) :mellow:
I was just in Newport for the 4th of July, I didn't see the whole town but I definitely didn't see anyone looking like Deebo.
