DTOID NY: Invading Centralia!
Tino | 9:43 PM on 10.07.2008 9 comments


Okay kids, so the time has come for the Dtoid NY NARP team to take things to a whole new level. Not only are we throwing together fantastic events such as drinking, eating BBQ, and playing oldschool video games, but now we take things to a fantastic and exciting place.

Where you ask? Why abandoned and haunted places of course!

This Saturday, were looking at 3-4 car fulls of Dtoiders. Our plan? Wake up early and head out to Centralia, PA!



Centralia is a town off route 61 rich in mine fires. That's right kids. The entire town has had a coal mine fire burning underneath it for the past 60 years or so! Whats that mean for us? Cracked highways, smoldering ground, charred landscape, and if were especially (un)lucky, Pyramid Head!

Notice the snow avoids certain areas!


The town is likely to be hot! With fire just below us you can expect a little shoe meltage.


Whats after that? Why were headed back to New Jersey for Dinner, gathering up more Dtoiders and then heading out to spooky Shades Of Death Road.

Personally, I've been out there plenty of times. But however due to popular demand, were finding ghosts this time. They are out there, you just need to look.

Finally, after a long night how do we unwind? By guaranteeing ourselves some actual manifestations.


Were headed off to the Hookerman tracks in search of dancing green lights that supposedly represent the lantern an unfortunate gentlemen dropped after having his hand smacked by a train. Excuse the picture, I took it with my phone while driving. But those are indeed the tracks.


Who can you expect as such a fantastic event!?!
Why we have such people confirmed!

Then my friends Megan and Mike might also show up.

Brings me to an interesting car situation. Looks like we might be rocking 3-4 cars. We shall find out.

I'm going to have to ask for people to split gas to Centralia and back. It's expensive but just think guys. It's like a Dtoid parade.

If I missed anyone, do post below. If you care, post below. Yanno.

Have you ever been to Centralia? I go camping at Knoebels about 15 miles from there, and I hear its pretty damn hard to actually get to these days. Most of the roads that lead into it are closed well before they start to split apart from the coal fire.

i wouldnt mind driving out to PA from CT, but then to NJ? that i might not be able to do. that would be alot of gas.

also just read the town in the move "nothing but trouble "was based off of it.
