Abandoned Places - March 21st, 2008

If any of you remember my pictures of the abandoned Evergreen Airport in Vancouver, Washington, I drove past it tonight, and while there are still builidings for me to invade, it's already being demolished.
I saw signs when I drove past tonight that there are still things I can get close to, and hopefully things I can loot.
I realize looting is a bit touchy, but my personal feeling is that if the place is being demolished, I should save what I can.
Especially at an airport where Lindberg once landed.
....but obviously, I'm not going to dodge bulldozers to do it.
Hopefully it will stand up through the next week so I can see if there's anything to grab...if not, I'll still shoot pictures when I can.
Today I didn't have my camera, and my wanky ankle was acting up, otherwise I would have poked around the site in some way.
I saw some very promising desk/file cabinets inside one of the demolished hangars...and I'm SO there when my ankle is working.

For those who commented on pouring concrete on Christmas Day, weather in the Antelope Valley can be a bit fickle in the winter. You take what day you can to do some things. Given that the house was probably the ground’s keeper’s place once upon a time, that day may have been to only one he wasn’t busy on. As noted, this was originally part of a recreation center and full size golf course which supported nearby Liberty and Victory Fields (WW2 era pilot training sites).

I’m going to split the posts on the Pro Shop/Bar and the Shed into two. Not to draw it out further, but because I really don’t want to put up close to 25 images at once..
