Book Release: Krewe du Exploration ~ Available July 1st
Six regular people who love history and forgotten places set out to explore the abandoned corners of Mississippi and Louisiana. Together they ventured into a decaying sugar mill deep in the bayou, a massive riverside power plant, a towering empty skyscraper, and an old prison tied to Jimmy Hoffa legends. These are their true stories—of rusting machinery, secret letters, close calls, and the quiet moments when the past feels close enough to touch. If you’ve ever wondered what lies behind locked gates and boarded windows, this book will take you there.

With every page, Lykins captures the essence of places left behind, inviting viewers to see the beauty in what time has tried to erase.
Ranger Rick & Lykins Films mentioned in Chron article.
Not surprisingly, the Sabine is reputed to be seriously haunted on top of everything else. But upon visiting the hotel last November, Lykins Films founder Jason Lykins was struck most by its "remaining furniture and beautiful architecture—what a wonderful time of decor," he told Chron Tuesday.
