Last weekend, drove to Hunter's Point, an abandonned logging village. Probably unoccupied for 20-25 years ... found the place by paddling in ...

Cool pics Pat! Next time you are up this way you will have to check out these 2:

Idlewild, MI. While it is not totally abandoned, it is only a fragment of what it once was. From the early 1900s up until the 60s it was a black resort town. After all the Jim Crow laws disappeared, there wasn't a big need for the resort town any more. There still are some residents though. It has regular city-size blocks with dirt streets, lights, and signs. There are a lot of buildings that have suffered from years of neglect though.

These are from Marlborough, MI. This was once the world's largest cement plant but it only operated for around a decade in the early 1900s. Some of the remains have a romanesque appearance. I need to get back there and take some more pics.
