Standard oil, Jackson

     This is an other mystery of Jackson, a company lost, with no marking. Judging by the peeling and rust, these empty tanks have been here for a while, since the early 20th century. I can see why nobody would want to purchase the property, it is practically in the middle of nowhere.



Boat dumping is a common practice especially in big cities like Detroit. It is still very peculiar to see them on land, whenever you come across one though.




Remains of aging tubes pipes & hoses between lie between the shed and tanks.


This is a pretty cool machine. At the bottom the pretty old railroad. There used to be a railway roundhouse nearby.




This might be the sketchiest climb yet. A wet wooden walkway...



All in all Standard Oil is an interesting and unusual spot; I only found it because of Google Earth. Arriving in summer, there was no graffiti and the trees covered everything.
