Did you jump when you saw yourself in the mirror? I worked in some old hangers at the K.I. Sawyer AFB and there was an upstairs that was no longer used. It was a locker room with showers. I went snooping looking for cool stuff. It was really dark because the lights were burned out. I turned a corner and I saw something move. Alas it was just my reflection in a mirror. Boy did I jump!
If I would have thought about it sooner I would have went snooping around the old airbase sooner. By the time I thought about it there was too many people around. Now if I was teen I could have gotten away with snooping around. If caught people would just tell you to get the hell out of here. the perfect time would have been when the land still was still military jurisdiction and the cops really were hampered by what they could do. I know people that were pulled over for speeding but were let go. Eventually it was all conveyed to the county and the local police then had jurisdiction.
There are still tons of empty rotting buildings out there. But the county want's a crap load for them. The housing area has steadily grown. When they started selling the duplexes they wanted a lot of money for them. Well with all the gov. loans defaulting they are a dime dozen from the banks. But who want to live there? All the riff raff in the county moved there because they couldn't get in anywhere else. And then the "prison family's" moved in from the big citys. Back when I first lived out there it was fairly quiet but as time went by kids slowly started forming into packs that would traverse the base causing trouble. There was two high speed chases while I was there. I should say slow speed because everything was glare ice and the banks 6 foot high. If you go there now it's pretty depressing area.
