I don't post here too often, but I've noticed that some people here seem interested in old soviet and eastern European guns and history. So here are some pics of my trip to Chernobyl from this past spring. It was a pretty cool experience. I've also put these up on bodybuilding.com if some of you post over there too.

Very cool. I would love to go to that part of the world someday.
|
|

Get out of here S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!
I love the pictures. Very cool. |

Did you go into the grade school library? That was probably my favorite part. That, followed by the swimming pool and then the hotel.
What group did you go with? I hear the government is officially sponsoring trips now, or something like that. |
|
What did they call the guys that went in to cap it? Liquidators or something like that? Did you see all the contaminated helos?

Reminds me of the show "life after man" with nature taking back over.

FWIW, if you haven't gone to the museum in Kyiv, I recommend it.

We didn't go to the vehicle "grave yard" as they call it. Some tourists got sick from the radiation walking through there so it's off-limits now. |

Cool pics.
On a semi-related note, it would appear that the makers of Call of Duty:Modern Warfare really did their homework when they designed the game. |

I think that's all the picture I have without my ugly mug in them

Thanks man. Visiting Chernobyl and Pripyat is something I have wanted to do for years.

I went with these guys - you might like the website (maybe you saw their none-too subtle sign tagging the old train station shelter as well). http://pripyat.com/ |

One day won't hurt you - they have workers out there in some places for weeks or more at a time, they do some sort of rotation. |

I've never been there before. I remember the tour guide telling us the train station is coming up and thinking "this will be good". Pretty bad excuse for a train station. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that large soviet radar array on the way out of the exclusion zone but my SD card was full |

Thanks for posting. I've always wanted to visit Pripyat. Did you travel to the area specifically to see Pripyat, or was it a side trip?

Would be very interesting to see that area. |

Where are all the zombies? How did they take those pictures of the Consumer Centre at the Kurchatov street without being eaten by the mutant burer? |
