Looks like a bend in a river...

The only land still attached is on the front of it. The side I took the shot on is actually the right side. The left side is on one of the main passes in the Rigolets, LA. More shots of the inside as well as another fort are here http://www.expeditionnola.com/2013/03/fort-macomb-fort-pike-and-rigolets_11.html

Interesting historical info.

I love these shots. Keep them coming. I envision myself antique scrounging for home décor.

That BANK sign is interesting, you'd think they would cut some tiles to get around the limitations of the hex shape in the letters, they did for the edge. And because the width is not a multiple of 4 tiles they've had to fudge the edge motif in the middle.

I think that miniature Jeep would have been coming home with me to be fixed up for my boy.

Took these yesterday

The outside

Place had a decent view (That's Mt. Rainer from the kitchen window)

And here's another one down the beach a little that I would like to check out when I have a little more time

I have to assume there is a caretaker at the Jerome AZ site, otherwise much of it would have been stolen and vandalized by now.

You mean it's not vandalized now? Someone needs to take a spray can to that dudes car, every year, for the rest of his life

The owner of the Gold King Ghost Town in Jerome is super cool. He lives on site and brought Cindy and I into his house to show us a old Harley he was working on in his living room!!

We had spent the day walking around taking photos when he pulled up on this 1942 Harley that he uses as his Daily Driver!!

We got to talking and he told me the stories about many of the items he's collected over the years. If you're ever visiting the area, which I highly recommend, and he's there, he's the best tour guide of the property because he can tell you about every piece and what he went through to get them. Many of them he's driven around the country to go pick up and salvage

I begged and pleaded for him to sell this to me, but he said he doesnt sell anything, he just collects them

Love that "BANK" with the tree growing around it. Really nice Harley and sign as well.
