Posted by cambrianguy This thread rocks. Love all the pics and talk of the remote areas of Ord. Have always been interested in those areas.
Really glad you like it Cambrianguy. The best part about exploring this place is that you never know what you will stumble upon. There's always something new (old) to discover. I freakin love just being out there in the rural areas and wondering what's behind the next tree or over the next hill, and I hate that there are people just waiting to destroy all of that.
What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy, and joy is, after all the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money, we eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for. - George Mallory.

Ya, I hear ya. Way too much commercialization going on our there. Every new development project I see out there gets stalled so long before it ever gets completed (if ever).

Well, the East Garrison project is back on track. Construction is underway again. We'll see how that turns out I guess.

jeeeeez thats a humongous amount of redevelopment, I'm looking at the satellite overview of what they plan to build right now from the link...as long as they somehow keep the historical aspect of Ord alive or make it so that visitors will always be aware of the history and backstory... then I see this as a good thing for the economy and California

I just don't see why they can't build it on top of the old concrete barracks that they're gonna tear down anyway. Oh, wait, they would have to pay for that. I guess that's why they want to build it on the land that the taxpayers already paid to have cleaned up.

You know I never used to care about this stuff before. I think I became kind of attached to the place at some point.

Looks like we'll have a whole bunch of new homes to explore when the economy tanks again eh?

Wouldn't want to politicize it.

Going out there this weekend. Lets see how much trouble I can make for myself.

These aren't Ord, but a place that is very closely linked to it historically.

They are very old field artillery stables. Completely boarded up and about ready to fall down unless something is done to preserve them.
