I wish I had some history on this place but I cant find anything on the web. The site consists of about half a dozen buildings in various stages of decay. In front of the mill is a modern office building that sits empty in the afternoons. While in one of the warehouses, I heard a truck start up just on the other side of the wall scaring the shit out of me.

I walked around to the side of the building and met this guy:

I wish I knew his name but I have completely forgotten. I explained what I was doing and he had no problem with me going over the place. We began talking and said that he used to work as a crane operator at the place which closed in 1999. Today he helps maintain the facilities and helps out when the migrant workers come during planting and harvesting. I was fortunate enough that he gave me a tour of the place, explaining what the various pieces of equipment did. He even gave me some sugar cane which I had never had before - it was delicious!

I'm going to nominate you for explorer of the year. Another awesome set by mr peptic.

Reminds me of the old mill in Sugarland before they started removing some of the buildings.

Great find! Its always great to find a site where the caretakers don't mind us explorers being around.
