Even though a certain unnamed game will never materialize, it's
still
cool to get updates and new pictures from Chernobyl and the surrounding
town of Pripyat. Earlier this summer the New York
Times <a href="http://www.janikarvonen.com/digicam/10- ... ournal.jpg" target="_blank">took a trip</a> to the area. Thanks to
VasikkA in <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewt ... 591#257591" target="_blank">our forums</a>, we now have access to four
extensive picture galleries for your viewing
pleasure.<ul><li> <a href="http://random.gfxile.net/chernobyl/main ... r=./photos" target="_blank">Gallery 1</a></li><li> <a href="http://peeba.gfxile.net/galleries/index ... /Chernobyl" target="_blank">Gallery 2</a></li><li>
<a href="http://www.digipaul.com/album/thumbnails.php?album=38" target="_blank">Gallery 3</a></li><li> <a href="http://www.janikarvonen.com/digicam/10- ... 5_Ukraine/" target="_blank">Gallery 4</a></li></ul> Tons of good reference material in there, if you are so inclined.

That's pretty tight. That first gallery had a photo with a description of "schoolgrades for dissassembling and assembling rifles." Why can't I teach that?

Oh man this is awesome.

It was actually a Finnish tourist group who did the trip and NY Times reported about it. Nevertheless, it looks like a unique vacation destination and not just for post-apoc freaks.

WTF looks like anyone can get to Chernobyl nowodays... let's make a DAC con there.

hay, we can all live with all them polish DACers, free living. And a possibility or them poles to make themselves useful.
And we'll get a taste of the local cuisine: boiled cow brains.

Chernobyl is not in Poland. And it weasn't cows' brains, but monkeys, and it was in South America - waaay on the left. And then little down.

Aside from that, everything's fine.

I am aware of that.
however, hiking to chernobyl would require places to sleep. And I suggest poland.

I'd rather sleep in the reactor than in Poland. But DAC going on a trip to Chernobyl would be something quite awesome.

Are you trying to tell me that you won't be covering my expenses?

ApTyp · Post by **ApTyp** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 3:48 pm

Of course not! Who do you think I am - Susan? :hint:

Chit, does that mean I have to pay?
