Yep, I'm the same way. I've been intrigued by it since I was a little kid. That's why I posted this.

I'd love to go there as well, it's incredibly interesting.

This is an absolute must read about some lady on a motorcycle who goes through there often. This is the first thing I ever read about it on one of the motorcycle forums:

Very interesting... These photos must have been taken after Optimus Prime found the fuel cell from the ark.

those photos had a very alien feel. Didnt feel like earth at all! Intriguing.

I think that's part of the allure for me. They don't look like anything else you've ever seen anywhere. Plus if you know some of the Chernobyl stories that go along with then it's even more intriguing

What amazes me about the whole thing is the fact that the ENTIRE reason it was done was to see if they could get more power out of it; and to do so, they disabled almost ALL of the safety features.

I could go on as to why this was stupider'n hell...but I think we know why now. lol

That story of her riding through there, was debunked years ago.

The real story is she went into the zone on a regular tour with others. Yes she had her jacket and helmet with her to try and give her story some credibility, but she didn't ride a bike into the zone.

Still, her 'story' contained interesting pictures.
