Interesting urban exploration of the property once known as Yankee Siege in Greenfield, New Hampshire, that was abandoned in 2010.
It was a Pumpkin Chuckin' attraction that was created by a farmer who watched a documentary about medieval weapons.
In a successful attempt to attract attention to his farm the owner displayed his catapult (trebuchet) that holds a record for launching a pumpkin over half a mile away.
However, they were still catapulting cars up until 2016.
It’s roughly 3 miles southeast from the center of Greenfield on Route # 31/Forest Road and is closed to the public during the winter months, with multiple “No Trespassing/Private Property” signs posted around the premises. It can, however, be viewed from the road.
For some reason, there are stairs in these towers.
The once active compound was the home of the famed trebuchet, a moat, and a target castle on a faraway hilltop.
It also has this giant mace sitting and rusting.
I don’t know, it just seems sad when once-cool places like this close and are left to deteriorate.

I think loveless aros deserve a thousand dollars for every time someone claims that love is the meaning of everything or love makes us human etc etc
"by love we mean all forms of love, including nonromantic!!1!" You clearly Do Not understand. Return to start, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
There is no center of the universe, there is no unified meaning of everything, and there is no social or biological trait that "makes us human" besides the literal being humans thing, and any attempt to assert otherwise will other and alienate more people. There is no one emotion that you need to feel in order to be a good person or even a person at all
