Now and Then
What a difference two years make. The trailer park used to have at least three distinct trailers, and outdoor bathroom, and a swing set with a slide. It now looks like a tornado went through the area and destroyed everything leaving one shell of a trailer left, the swing set is all but gone, and it looks like garbage has been thrown all over the place.
The burnt out house was still standing along with the barn/stables, but less of both were there. It looked like the walls of the stable were hit with either a huge wind and lying on the ground. The house was still a burnt mess and the odor was still there. I think someday all that will remain of the house will be the fireplace.
The motel looked basically the same, but the TV sitting outside looked like it was flattened. Some of the rooms had different items inside and were open more to the elements. The ceilings and walls are slowly crumbling down.
All and all, it was great to revisit these places that will forever be etched in our minds. Don't forget the "Abandoned Places" signed book giveaway which ends on Wednesday. Sign up today!
