  • Great place to explore! There are few holes in the barricade that can be use to enter. However keep in mind, along the track, there will be some federal agent with badge armed with camera patrolling it sometime. Inside the property, the securities ride ATV and will try to "ambush" instead of walk straight up to you. However if you get in and make it to the factory, it's totally worth it.
