Came across this recently. She makes some great points. For example, she doesn’t trespass unlike many urban explorers who do trespass. The photos she took were from outside the fence and some of the photos she didn’t take would have required her to trespass.
Wow being from Los Angeles I found this fascinating

Wichita had a poor farm cemetery. They were eventually moved to a local nonprofit cemetery. A headstone was added, but doesn’t include the names. Would like to see a headstone added with all the names one day.
