| | | | I remember going to the Santa's Village in Scotts Valley several times as a kid. Not sure about the one you're talking about, but I believe all that's left of the one around here is the street name.

| | | | Yes, it is now a logging yard. I talked to the guy who owns it and asked if I could possibly take a look around or set up a time to take some shots of the leftover rides and amusements. Guy was a real prick and essentially told me to F-off. I considered sneaking in at night, but guy lives in a trailer on the property and he mentioned that he has a cache of firearms when I spoke with him.

Just to double check because you're up north. You're talking about the one in Skyforest near Lake Arrowhead, right?

| | | | I was there on Christmas so there wasn't as many cars driving around. I saw some fresh car tracks in the snow on the property.

| | | | I visited last year. It was pretty interesting, but just keep in mind it's private property and there are people there. I would say out of most abandoned places, this is the one you should exercise caution on the most. Not trying to be all bad ass like it's sneaking into Nasa or something. I'm just saying that if you go with a bunch of loud jackasses who don't know how to be sneaky, then you might find yourself confronting one of the owners. I doubt that would be a good thing.
