Continuing the New Orleans discussion based on mcbulldawg’s co

You bring up a number of very good points. Generally I wonder whether or not it’s worth rebuilding anything down there and wasting money better spent elsewhere.

The first and third shots in this set are absolutely, positively, freaking awesome. See for yourselves http://www.livejournal.com/users/xbrokenx/1573994.html?#cutid1 .

AV Desert Wandering – Silver Queen (Part 3)

Across the road from the old service station lay a lone Quonset hut, clinging to life. The name above the door had faded so badly that it was unreadable with even the best photo enhancements. Surrounded by a high (unbroken) barbed wire fence, “sneak through” access was not possible. Since this was a casual trip, I didn’t bring overalls to either roll under the chain link safely or to protect my skin from whatever contaminants were in the soil. I’ll save exploring this building for another time.
