Day 2 in the wild, wild west found us in the vicinity of Igloo, SD, a former Army facility that is now all but abandoned. Amidst the buffalo, antelope, eagles, and rattlesnakes, we met the two folks living on the land, surrounded by buildings in various stages of disrepair. Turns out we were pretty small potatoes when it came to folks they've met in the media biz. Okay, maybe not small potatoes, but a distant fourth behind Tom Brokaw, Shia LaBeouf, and Sean Covel (producer of Napoleon Dynamite).
But regardless of the company, we found a fascinating and, at times, creepy landscape. The many tan-colored structures in the picture above are in actuality concrete buildings, as shown below.
We were surprised to find out there were over 800 of these buildings on the land. Besides the hundreds of concrete structures, though, there were many, many other buildings there, including the large brick-and-glass depot-like structure below.
While our findings out there definitely intrigued us (with countless opportunities for Lost references), they didn't necessarily confirm our hopes that this might be an upcoming site for a shoot. Fortunately, we were a little more successful on our other venture for site location that day.
Kids, don't try this at home.
