Another thing that doesn’t make sense
When I look inside abandoned places, I nearly always see something that doesn’t make sense, that’s out of place, that’s unexpected.*
In this case it was the chairs. Oh, and that lettering on the wall.

*The Patient Spouse maintains that one of these days I’m going to see a dead body. That may be why he generally waits in the car while I’m looking around.
Small Window
Here’s what I found on the back of the church from yesterday’s post: a tiny window and a propane tank. It was worth the walk around back.

On the third day
It was the third day of our trip. And it was Easter Sunday.

Seating Option
A few miles off the main road, we discovered a small community center (no, we never did discover a community that might have used the center). The outdoor area had seating for only one person, but I guess maybe everyone else could just play basketball.

And we all rush away
I was driving home from a weekend trip, and this place flashed by on my left, which meant that I made one of those photographer’s u-turns to get back to it.
It’s spring and the snakes are waking up, so I carefully picked my way across the weeds, watching for slithering movement by my feet. A nearby bunny startled me, but I didn’t see any snakes. I didn’t see too much of the building, either, because of that barbed wire fence guarding the place.
