Found walking 🚢

A metal mesh gate in front of an abandoned, overgrown facility surrounded by trees. The pathway inside is weathered, and there’s a sign with some text on the gate. Tall grass and wild plants are visible beyond the gate. A wooden shelter built with logs is situated in a forest. The ground around the shelter is littered with trash, including plastic bottles and cans. Tall trees surround the area, and sunlight filters through the branches. An old, beige bathtub placed outdoors, filled partially with dark, stagnant water. It has rust stains and debris like twigs and leaves, and is surrounded by grass and dry branches.
