Abandoned Places
Abandoned places, forgotten places, off the main road places. These are the places I like to be.
Kearsarge Station - Everybody Out! - California
Originally established as a stagecoach depot in 1866. During the busy years of the railroad, there was also a residence for the section boss and a bunkhouse for the workers near the depot.
The Airflite Café - Grounded - California
Does this building seem oddly familiar, like something out of a Twilight Zone episode perhaps? Read on, fellow travelers, searchers and explorers. At the signpost up ahead, you’ve entered the location known as “Grant.”
Rustic Oasis Motel - Maybe TOO Rustic? - California
Here’s what the Rustic Oasis Motel sign looks like today. I had seen a picture of it from many years ago where it was in better shape and thought, “hmmm, I should stop and get a picture of that for my explor-files.” So, 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…..
Little Lake Post Office - Postmark: GONE - California
you’ll realize that you’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of roadside memories. At the signpost up ahead, there’s a turn-off for Little Lake Road. Take it.
BATHS! Once a Month! - Needed or Not! - California
Who needs a bath more than once a month? Would have loved to visit this particular building when it was open for BATHS. Made of stones from local mines, opened for business in 1921.
Barn-voyage - California
Why did the farmer cross the road? To ask the guy with the camera why he was taking a picture of his barn.
