| | | I’m here in Monterey for my annual thanksgiving pilgrimage. Of course, I had to go check out Ord since that’s become a bit of a tradition for me - especially now that it’s coming down faster and faster. I had some limited success, but i did find a couple buildings that are very recently vacated and i hope to have the chance to attempt those before I leave on Tuesday. The prevalence of vandalism there is just incredible. I decided to drive out to the San Joaquin area and check out a remote ghost/mining town out there. That was extremely cool, but I’m glad I borrowed my mom’s 4wd to do that one. The only negative to that adventure was underestimating how remote the area was and my half a tank of gas didn’t quite cut it. I ended up buying gas off of a local farmer to make it to a gas station, lol. Hopefully, I’ll be able to put together a post of this year’s exploits and share. In the meantime, if anyone within a couple hours of Monterey is interested in meeting up, let me know. I have yet to meet any of you guys from this area, so that would be pretty awesome. Well, I’m driving back to Monterey now, so I’ll leave it at that and hopefully be back with some interesting updates! Edit: I just now realized how off-topic my post is here. Sorry about that. I got into the comments and I guess I lost sight of the “best explore” theme. To answer that one directly, I’d say probably Fort Ord, simply because I’ve been exploring it for years and have yet to not find something new every time I come out this way within Ord’s massive boundaries. I did explore a Naval Station just south of Monterey/Carmel and got lucky with my timing on that one last year... that comes in second place probably due to the uncharacteristic lack of vandalism in parts. Cheers.

| Bummer! I'm just seeing this and would have loved to meet up! Another time and Ord is great. I've explored it a few times and have always found something new to see

It’s worth a visit. Easy to access but I went predawn so I could get in without worrying about being seen. Most of it is heavily vandalized, but there’s a large building in the back that was fenced in (within the fenced in portion), that was much more recently abandoned or maybe just more recently breached. I suspect the former because I noticed that back building still had some indicator lights working on some portable batteries in there. The other buildings are way too far gone to even have those kinds of items inside them, so I enjoyed taking some overall landscape photos in the other parts due to the really beautiful scenery, but that back building is definitely a more interesting explore than most of the forward sections. Keep us posted if you do get out there, it’s a decent little spot if that building is still intact!

While that site isn't in the SF Bay area, it was probably one of my best explores in California, as I had official access to the site (unfortunately, not to include the Terminal Building, aka Ops Building, as it was still owned by the USN), so I could explore at a leisurely pace, instead of having to sneak & peek. /-/oolie

| You can see the Ops building now. I strongly suspect that is the newer building that had the "fence within a fence" in the very back of the property. I don't think it had been accessible long so I guess I got lucky. That said, I was there over a year ago, so who knows what it looks like now...
