We stopped here on our way through Ludlow, a mostly abandoned town at the crossroads of old Route 66.
More than five decades ago a great Atlantic ocean liner, the SS Independence, proudly steamed to exotic Mediterranean ports while serving up the finest caviar and champagne. Today, she's a ghost ship, and I'll tell you what it's like to be inside.
The only ghost town in the san francisco bay area. Drawbridge is an old hunting town in the alviso slough at the south end of the san francisco bay.
Ludlow was once at the crossroads of Route 66 but when the highway bypassed it most of the old town just dried up. The Ludlow cafe is now one of the photogenic remains and is quite easy to get to off the interstate.
Eastern State Penitentiary is located in Philadelphia. It was a ground breaking prison and housed prisoners from 1829 - 1971.
San Haven is an abandoned medical facility closed down due to poor patient conditions.
One of Nevada's most recognizable ghost towns. Abandoned in 1916.
Often times referred to as the Bodie of southern California, Cerro Gordo was an incredibly wealthy mining town that helped fund the creation of the Los Angeles shipping trade. Now it is a bit difficult to get to on a pretty narrow dirt road that almost certainly requires 4 wheel drive to reach.
Every time I go to Bodie, I take a shot of this car.
