good luck its fenced off and is right off the main rd.

there are a few houses in temecula. and a couple up in the hill west of the border check station. we used to play paintball in.

how do you get to the houses above the checkpoint, thru sandia creek or from old town?

we used to hike up the mountain from the south end of old town or hope the fence fromt he neighborhood east fo the freeway and walk under the 15 then up the hill. If you hhave a 4wd you can go to the south end of pujol street and tunr down the dirt road that runs along the creek to the big open spot where the tree house is and then attempt to cross the creek there. we did it in a jeep a few times. I have not been up there in a long time. house may have burned from the fires. a dirt bike would be the easiest thing to get up there on.

A building standing on the Garrett Group property played an important role in the city's history. In Lake Elsinore's heyday as a resort for Hollywood glitterati in the early 1920s, the Southern California Athletic and Country Club built a large clubhouse there. The club went into bankruptcy in 1929. The following year, Glen Conklin bought the property and there established the Elsinore Naval and Military School. The school operated at the location for the next 27 years. In recent decades, the building has sat abandoned and unused.



Truax said his company plans on using the building as a commercial center or possibly as an activities center for civic events.

The Garrett Group recently hired a company to remove asbestos and lead-based paint from the building and that work has been completed, he added.

The president of the Lake Elsinore Historical Society said Wednesday that not only is the building an important part of the city's past, but its porcelain tiles, formal ballroom, dining room with seating for 500 people and mammoth fireplaces make it an architectural jewel worth preserving.

"It's absolutely stunning, one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen," J.J. Swanson-O'Neal said. "They didn't spare any expense in the details."

She said Lake Elsinore needs more developers like The Garrett Group.

"We are absolutely delighted when we have good developers that want to preserve our history," Swanson-O'Neal said.

the building i work at is owned by the garret group. sounds like a pretty cool place inside. I dont think you would get in to much trouble visiting it but it is fenced and to my knowledge theres no real parking around it. plus the area in elsinore its in is GHETTO

down hamner i think right after the 60 in riverside there is a old farm. its pretty cool.

Cops have been going there lately. The high school kids think its cool to go there. They've been giving trespassing tickets.

Azusa Canyon has a few insane places I have come across over there. I would have to look at a map, and see if I could pinpoint it for you. As far as the I.E., Lytle Creek off the 15 has some abandoned places.

By the way, what camera are you using again, I forgot if you were a Canon or a Nikon guy.

powerhouse in norco riverbed

tons of graffiti really old concrete powerhouse with sheetmetal roof tons of shotgun blasts through it

backstabbers off river in norco also has like 4-5 abondoned houses hit me up if u need directions or somthin

Canon 30D I believe... yah, that's it

Lytle Creek is cool. There's a old 2story house on the way to the 3 Streams Crossing/ Stone House trailhead. Have always wanted to check it out

Fastfurrer: PM me those, I'm in Corona and want to do some abandoned stuff, I have nothing much to do Thurs... have class until 2 on Fri, guess I could hit it up then too

kooter: azuza isnt too bad of a drive, if you find those places on a map that would be awesome! and im a canon guy.

fastfurrer - can you show me where the powerhouse is on a map? thanks!

Theres the old parachute trainer at Superstition.

I lived in Corona(Horsetheif) for almost 10 years, and never heard of a High School on Pacificlay, ERM or Weroc's property.

while visiting the relatives in michigan we went exploring. we found this abandoned saw mill, it was then converted into a chemical plant, and then bought by the indians and abandoned. there were gallons and gallons of chemicals laying around and also boxes and boxes of files, checks and old records laying all over the place. we also found a train graveyard, but my laptop is too slow at processing the HDRs (its been processing them for the last 5 hours) so i'll post up the train pics tomorrow.














view the full size pics at my flickr.

When I lived out in Twentynine Palms there was a lot of wired stuff out there. If you go to Primm from Twentynine Palms useing the back roads (following the tracks) there are a lot of old stuff out there.
