Part 2 of "May the 4th be with you" brought us to Hayward. Known by locals as "The Toaster", the status on this place changes almost daily so when we saw it was open yesterday morning, we decided to offer it up as an "extended explore". I will skip the history because our good friend Dr.Jones said it best:

While on the roof another group of explorers showed up. There were about 6 of them and 10 of us so it was a happy gathering. We moved on to the basement and then to a different portion of the building and about 30min later saw the other group tearing ass out the P.O.E. They gave us the heads up on the cop car that had just pulled up so we all evacuated and scattered like a bunch of cockroaches. Thanks again to all who shared this adventure with us!
The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us? |

Awww I would have been so down for this if I knew :/

Had so much fun that day. Narrowly escaped the grips of the Hayward police.

Nice!! Last time I went we searched for a long while trying to get in. We found a way to get into one part and found gay love letters from prison...and nearly got caught by the cops

Yep. No drywall left anywhere. Entry is difficult, but we didn't seem to have any entanglements with any locals.

not sure if your poe is the same one I saw yesterday, but it looks pretty sketchy... Good thing I went a couple months ago. I still really wanna go back though.

This place is back again! Nice job B&C, and welcome back to the forums. We all missed you.

Probably is. Footing is a pain. It is very sketchy if you're over 6' as balance is a problem.

I'd be down to go with you, if you don't mind meeting up. I've been pretty recently but would always be willing to go back again. The view from the top is so cool.

Caught the security guard dancing to his headphones inside the drink isle of safeway doubt he is a threat and he drives an suv

I've always meant to check out the japanese gardens; I've always thought it was a homeless encampment down by the creek, but have never been in the area during daylight - I didn't even know that's what it was called until you said so.
