Very neat stuff. Places like that have always fascinated me. I will never forget the website Kiddofspeed (http://www.kiddofspeed.com/) that I stumbled upon a few years back. A woman travels through the Chernobyl area and documents it. Very fascinating pictures and stories.
i stumbled across the same site awhile back and was dissapointed the whole thing (appears to be) a hoax..
from an ny times article:
About two years ago, Mr. Tatarchuk said, a Ukrainian woman
booked a tour, wore a leather biker jacket and posed for
pictures. Soon there appeared a Web site in which the
woman, using the name Elena, claimed that she had been
given an unlimited pass by her father, a nuclear physicist
and Chernobyl researcher ("Thank you, Daddy!" she wrote)
and now roamed the ruins at will on her Kawasaki Big Ninja.
Oh wow, thanks for sharing. :) As the last person stated, even though it is a hoax, there are still wonderful stories packed inside. I'd recommend it still to anyone.
