I am a snow-bird & live half the year in upstate NY & the other half in Florida. Here in upstate NY, there is an abandoned Navy station about 2 miles from where I live. The main gate is overgrown however it is open! This is a TINY base, literally probably no more than 3 or 4 acres. I have driven past it for years & could never get over the fact you could drive into the station, which I did a cpl times. I know the GSA (General Services Administration) owns all military property & secures any base that the govt. shuts down. I don't know what happened here, but they never secured it. It is land-locked, & was in existence for two reasons: for Navy reservests to attend their obligatory meetings at & also there was a military commissary on the base. I finally entered the various buildings the other day & explored. The office desks , typewriters, etc are still there & there are military records strewn all over the floor! Some of the floors are collapsed into what evidently was the basement. I have only explored about 1/3 of it, so will be going back. Here are some pics I took. OOPS-the program said my pics are too large. Can anyone tell me how to reduce the size?? Thaey are jpg's. Darkwolf  Mellow Moderator Location: Florida... Again...

Change the 'Save As' option to .jpeg and re-save the image. FUMBLE!!!

I hate to be such a dummy. I'm a thousand years old but am pretty computer-literate, but I can't find Picture Manager or anything else, either in "all programs", or control panel or anywhere., nor under Pictures" or "documents".
