Status on Skaggs Island?

I heard it was demolished but someone back in July mentioned it was still up on another forum I found. Does anyone know if there's anything worth exploring in that area or is everything completely gone?

I've driven by the area a few times and couldn't catch anything from the highway, I was wondering if anyone knew or not.

All the buildings were torn down a couple of years ago. Yes, google earth tells the whole story.

I shot there several times in the winter of 2005/06.

Yes, I have scouted but didn't go far and yes I did check google maps. It seems like there isn't much if not any there and that's why I'm asking. I live a bit far from that area and I'd hate to show up and waste a day without finding anything. Just trying to be resourceful.

Guys, if you think this is stupid or are here to make anyone feel dumb for asking a sincere question, then just ignore this forum.

It's honestly not cool to be sarcastic and honestly mean about this, it was just a simple yes or no question you can easily ignore.

Google maps isn't always up to date, and after stopping by and looking around we didn't find anything and was wondering if anyone knew if there were still some buildings up or not. Just ignore if you scoff at this or could care less about the answer. Thank you.

Lulz, taking the internet too seriously. It's not like they told you to get off the forums. Anyways, it's all gone, my friend and I walked ALL THE WAY across it ourselves to find out. They used to throw raves up against the fence there too but now cops patrol it every night supposedly. We walked the 30-40 min all the way to the farmers house or whatever it was. And the only old derelict looking building we saw was a little outhouse across one of the ponds haha.

If you did that, you'd have checked Google Maps first and got your answer.

Google maps isn't always up to date

Do you think the buildings are going to just magically re-appear when they are currently shown as GONE?

You don't have to be a jerk. I did check but then I heard from another forum in July that they had explored it and I wasn't sure if the maps was even accurate or not. It's not that big of a deal.

Did someone say boat picture?


P.S. - I love your composition, decrep.

P.P.S - Flashyfashionfraud, Rohnert Park to Skagg's is 26 miles. I don't think you know what "far" means.

Oh…

I remember you.

You were the one who asked us for handouts so you could write a book.






Good luck with that.
