 |  |  | Hunter's Point in San Fran
< on 8/5/2013 2:58 AM >
|  | | | has anyone been to this site recently? i'm a ex-navy nuclear electrician and was very interested in this site, especially with the dry docks and some of the cool stuff in bldg 231 that i've seen via photos. just wanted to see how the site was today and if anyone was aware of crazy security 'improvements' aside from motion sensing lights. additionally, i know there is a city-organized group to 'revitalize' the area

| | | | there are security gates around mostly everything that you could possibly try and see...some of the fences used to be old and decrepit, easily avoided/climbed, shimmied underneath but recently the spots that I know about and probably the ones you would want to see have had some fence and lock upgrades done to them making them significantly tougher to get around.

| | | | Also, active roving security patrol in a truck. Headlights easy to see from a distance, but getting around the massive space between patrol passes is a little on the sketchy side when you've lost sight of the bugger.
Been in once. Hit up big old welding shop. Didn't go for the crane.

| | | | Seriously? How many people who responded have even recently been there? Vague details and incorrect info are worse than none at all.
I've been 3-4 times in the last 4 months.

I've recently gone here at both nighttime and daytime. You can't drive in anymore unless there is an open studio night. Don't try and use an artist name at the gate because it won't work. Tried it and failed.
Last time I went, I didn't even see security until about 5 hours into the visit. There are no motion activated lights and no motion detectors that I've ever encountered. On one trip, we got stuck on the crane for quite a while. Read the post here about halfway down, I tell that story:
http://www.uer.ca/...urrpage=1&pp#post0
Vectored Approach is correct, there's usually only one guard who drives a white truck and if at night, you can see his headlights from a long way off and then move accordingly, hiding until he passes.
Construction update: There are now more fences on this site than I have ever seen before. They are used to divide construction areas, remediation efforts etc. I hopped about 5-10 fences on one trip as I was determined to take a straight line. There are ways around them but you only become familiar with this once out there a few times. Most buildings are accessible if you try hard enough. There are whole sections that won't see security because they are behind the construction fences. I'll PM you with more details. As I always suggest, if you get caught by security, tell him your a photographer or whatever and that you're leaving now, turn around and start walking directly to your car. It's unlikely that police will get there by the time you get to the site boundary.

We used to drive in also. Are you driving in at night or during the day? Do you park at the studios or just drive all over? I'm kind of amazed if you are driving in at night or weekend anytime. Is there something you're not telling us? Are you friends with an artist?
I'm not trying to be an asshole, just wanting to learn the trick since I seem to be in the dark here. We used to just wave at the guard and not stop, or just ignore them, until they physically started barring our path, asking lots of questions and not fucking around. But then I go at night, or evening on weekends when there is no artist events.

Thanks for the intel. That makes much more sense now. Weekday activity is way higher due to construction. Nice job with the social engineering. That's usually my approach but the one time I recently got turned back by the guard led me to just skip that whole effort. The last few trips have been 5-8 hours long so I just want to enter and exit without interaction with the guards.
I keep forgetting that 95% of my threads are set private for Full Members only. Thus the link that doesn't work if you tried it.

| | | | Vectored Approach and I were there in March. This was before the apparently non-existent motion activated lights, but about two or three in the morning a slightly larger burgundy pickup truck relieved the smaller white one. The new guard had two spotlights on his truck! He never shined them above the first floor. We were on the fourth floor of a building watching him and snickering.

It's been about 5 years since I was last there, but I used to pull up to the guard shack at the main gate, show the old geezer guard so much fake respect that he musta thought he was SFPD Chief (PSYOP...) and would tell him I was there to go to Iron Mountain. No problems. Sometimes, I even buttered him up so much with my "Hi officer sir, how's it going today?" stuff that he'd forget to ask me the purpose of my visit before telling me to go on in.
I take it the public bus route no longer goes thru the site.
