< on 5/16/2010 2:18 AM >
|  | | | nestled out in backwoods country, we had a wonderful evening.
abandoned since 1970, some attempts have been made to "restore" the school, but not much has been done.

| | | | That's probably the most picturesque school i've ever seen. Seems to be decaying nicely, too.
reckless thoughts abide; anachronistic and impulsive.

| | | | yes, but very dark, very creepy, and very unstable.
they had boarded the upper stainless windows, and there were about 20 dead birds.
not fun.

| | | | Getting onto the property is not very difficult. Was just there on Saturday morning (0800). Only issue, evidently in the mornings the Sheriff is riding around looking for hunters. Had 15mins on the site to take some shots before I was approached. He was very friendly and let me know that Sister Maureen wants trespassers prosecuted to the fullest extent, so be careful if you do go. Will get a few shots up before the week is out.

yeah, only issue, the church doesn't want to pay the $14million to get anything done to it. Here are a few shots, forgive the crap-tastic resizing from facebook.
Also noticed that FB decided to make the images a little darker, oh well.

It's nice to see a lack of graffiti on every wall of the place.
Nice work.
