Vail Arizona Area Exploring Right Off The Highway

 

Just a few posts ago I was Exploring just off the Highway at the newly purchased but not open yet restaurant at the Vail Arizona exit. 

And a little bit   just behind the building.   

I have been here several times before  Exploring   but on that particular day there was a new fence up     preventing anyone from getting to close to the long abandoned outlying buildings. 

Last night I came across these pictures from March of  2024 when you could still access the whole area. 

Cheers!

I am sure coffee at The Homestead started out this day.    But it defiantly was not going to rain on me   on this particular walk about. 

You can defiantly see the new sign and paint job   in the newer photos in my other blog post. 

This was a new paint job   at the time. 

For a long empty building. 

Not sure if the new look is better or worse

but it certainly draws your eyes to the building.  

Just to the right of the large building.

Many years ago there was an abandoned double wide trailer right about this spot too.

Sorry I really like these tree images. 

It also shows once again that I tend to take similar pictures each time I visit the same area. 

Just beside and behind the building.  

Part of the junkyard about 200 feet behind the building. 

I pictured the cash register parts     from this same area in the latest post. 

I really wish I could find the dump sight for the outlaying buildings. 

Plates!

Right about here is where the new fence stopped my Exploring a few weeks ago.

Lets go for a little walk  Shall we??

Random garbage strewn about through the desert 

But no shopping carts  or lone shoes     both I seem to find in most of my walk abouts in the open desert. 

I sure do hope you like this post!

We are almost to the old buildings.

I take pictures   that is what I do. 

Wow

I have talked about this before   But in this part of Arizona you really have to look to find such spray painting.

And some of it really is art. 

Got my shadow shot in on this day!

Building Number Two

Right about here is where I found this object. 

Here pictured on my sticker table at my Homestead

I know what it is   do you???

Tell us in the comments here if you know. 

All of these places I have visited sure had a view!

Front porch

Time to head back to my ugly vehicle.

I do like the color though.

Yesterday I was out and about taking pictures.

Today I got in much more Exploring than I had planned 

Including this great sculpture spotting!

Last year it got highly vandalized on the other side of Tucson

And they just put it back in its new home. 

More on this and my random Exploring and pictures from today   very soon of course.
