The old ordnance plant, Sand Canyon

California · USA · Road

Take the Sand Canyon exit off Highway 14 in Santa Clarita, California, turn right and go past the housing developments to a locked gate.

Behind it are two things. One is the old filming set for a television western. The other is an ordnance facility that mixed explosives for military devices.

The detail that stops people is how it was done. Lead azide, a primary explosive sensitive enough to detonate from friction, was mixed in machines of the kind used for making cake batter.

That industry killed and maimed workers routinely, and facilities like this one had accidents.

The site is behind a locked gate for good reasons that have nothing to do with anything supernatural. Explosive residues do not become safe with time, and abandoned ordnance plants remain genuinely dangerous ground.
