The final day of our road trip and Mrs. Ulcer agreed to a quick 30 minute detour so I could hit this spot on my Urbex Bucket List. I first learned of this location about 2 1/2 years ago after an article in the Houston Chronicle ran discussing the current state and possible plans to renovate it. After doing so digging and research into its history it became a "must see". I've passed nearby this place since then dozens of times and never seemed to have the time to explore it so I was thrilled when the Mrs. agreed to go.

When I arrived, she decided to stay in the car and let me do my thing. After walking around for about 15 minutes and meeting up with another explorer doing I entered what looked like the shower room. I was blown away! The tile on the floor was incredible - each piece individually laid. I had to show this to the wife.

I got to the car and told her she had to see this place and compared it to places we had seen in St. Lucia. She refused. I became insistent and she got pissed but agreed to go. Bitching and complaining the entire way in I began to think to myself, "Great. I should have just left her in the car. This is going to suck!". As we got in she was blown away! Before long she was crawling over walls, suggesting shots to take and even uttering things like, "Whats in here?". She was thrilled that I made her go but still pissed at the way I did it. Women - who the hell can figure 'em out!

Nice work on these shots. This place is one of the few out of state places i know about and would love to take a crack at someday. And you're right, that tile work is fantastic.
For the record...your wife sounds a lot like my wife, too.

I've always wanted to go here! I saw some pictures from a few years ago when we had such heavy rains that people were able to swim in the pools again.

Great shots, almost looks like ancient ruins the way it's falling apart. I'm surprised there isn't more spraypaint around.

At going to the location itself or just guessing where it is?
I already did the latter and removed the link since it gave away the location.

As for going to it, personally? It's on my list.
