We took a trip down the grafiti road. This used to be a water slide at Lake Monroe located in Bloomington IN called the zoom flume. Crazy to see old dorgotten things. Get you a man that takes good pictures photo creds to @Justin Schurr 💗 #zoomglume #datenight #grafittie #abandoned #explore #fyp #alt #adventuretime #date #loveyou #hiking #bloomingtonindiana #lakemonroe #indiana #abandonedindiana
