Abandoned Places
Abandoned places, forgotten places, off the main road places. These are the places I like to be.
Abandoned Ranch - No Oil Plant - Hwy 395 - California
With a road named “Oil Plant Road,” you’d expect to find an oil plant somewhere along its way. False Advertising! No Oil Plant! Maybe they were actually talking about an actual plant, like a shrubbery….
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Factory - Clearly Abandoned - Bartlett, California
Each time driving by, I’ve wanted to take a picture of this old factory. This time through, I did.
Volcano Ranch House - What a Blast - California
Imagine living next to a volcano. “What a blast!” Sorry. Sure, it’s been at least 10,000 years since the last eruption, maybe as long as 100,000 years. Why risk it? And what would the insurance rates be…..
Check Under the Hood? - Abandoned Mojave Desert Service Station - California
It’s probably been thirty plus years, at least, since anyone has said that here. But at one time, this was a bustling stop on a highway that was once a major route from hither to yon.
The Dixie Inn - Not Haunted - California
I didn’t have an EMF Meter, an EVP, a geophone, Geiger counter or even a flashlight. But somehow I knew, the Dixie Inn was definitely NOT haunted. Case solved, put to rest, RIP.
Hadley Fruit Orchards - Moved Next Door - California
Speeding past on Interstate 10, maybe a half dozen times a year, the “abandoned place gravity well” has tried to pick me off the freeway to stop and take some pics. It finally happened.
Burro Be Gone - Arizona
When there are many motels to choose from, what might make someone pick one over another, especially after driving for hours late into the night?
