Abandoned in Fontana,California



Got info on this place from a fellow explorer,so being a good 20 mins or so from me I headed out to Fontana,Ca and eye balled the place out to see who was around.

While waiting for about 10 mins to make a run to the entrance I noticed a board start moving and out came a few folks that had been squatting inside,as they proceeded to leave and im assuming head out for the day, they blocked the entrance with boards and some random trash and off they went.I grabbed my gear and headed to the front door moved the wood board and in I was.



(Living facility & to the far right the hospital)

As I entered I wasnt expecting much then a old shell of a building but I was surprised to see alot left behind.


Walking through the first hallways trying to stay quite as not to disturb anyone who may still be inside or surprised by a pipe to the face by some freaked out person I turned into the 1st room I seen and it was a kitchen with alot of pans and plates left behind.



After the kitchen I headed into the next room with what looks like upside down tables which were used for people with wheelchairs


Next I checked out the many other rooms which held offices and medical devices and rooms with beds and personal belongings left behind,by this point I swore I heard foot steps and whispering,I knew I had been to quite for people to know I was there.....


(office)



After room and room of nothing but beds and a chair here and there I was about ready to call it a day but i went on




Heading down the far end of the building there seem to be alot less light in the rooms and I was abit on edge as I heard the crunch of glass a few times as if someone was walking near by. So I proceeded with caution and went on peering into dark room after dark room only seeing slightly silhouetted items left behind.




Next I ended walked into a area that looked more like a old motel of sorts with rooms with numbers and a community room, some of which had rope attached to them as a locking mechanism. This side felt more homely and abit on the sad side.





After walking into the last room I came to a door and stood quite and heard whispers seen a few trash bags with old food wrappings and bottles and new I found whom may of been walking about and whispering.


(I never take anything from places but I really wanted this picture ....)

So I didnt wanna over stay my welcome so headed out, a day or too later my bud went to check the place out and met the guy who was squatting there and said he called himself the unofficial caretaker of the home and said he would ward off all who would be destructive to the property and try and vandalize the property with graffiti.He also mentioned that he was in the process of roping all the doorknobs together so no one could enter the rooms,he then stated that he would try and follow people to see what they were doing and if they were just checking out the place he would leave them be...​

Preview from todays venture(Oldfolks)

Ive been eyeing this spot for some time but never ventured in because I new squatters were leaving in it.Sadly it burnt and whats left is still interesting.The size of the place was big with over 320 rooms big halls and misc rooms.In its heyday it must of been grand.

More images and videos will be posted in the weeks to follow cheers folks




Exploring 2 Walls

So my search for interesting places to photograph found me walking along the railroad tracks off Iowa street here in Riverside,CA.I was on google maps looking up abandoned places as I do and seen the places here in this post which ive named 2 Walls.Now on google maps it looked like a small building with some graffiti on it with some holes in the ceiling so I figured ok lets go explore.So I headed out parked near by and started walking the rails.I was lucky enough t get some shots of a passing train and some cool old cars in a lot before this but that will be on another post.



So i ventured in off the railroad tracks to see a slab of concrete and 2 walls,proceeded to explore and photograph the graffiti.Now some people do not like graffiti but personally I love art so youll see what I see. :)


No up to this point I thought ok so maybe theres something behind these walls,and as I peaked through to the other side I seen the street....Not a total loss of an explore because I was happy to be out shooting and thats what I love to do.



Tv back on the ground


From the wall it looked as tho there could of been a fire or maybe squatters either way the places looked burnt.




looking off there was more graffiti across from the 2 walls


Dinos in Riverside

Another trip to abandoned Rubidoux



Rubidoux Community services district sewage disposal plant


I first came here some years ago looking for an entrance which lead about one story down,rusted staircase with a metal bed and papers from the 1950's laid in wait.Tho when i finally went it was sealed up by the city.Sadly squatters had made a mess of the place,in another part of the abandoned plant there was a room which had a fridge and a bed etc....



Ivy covers much of the property year round which makes a great backdrop which ive used it right before I took these shots.You can see some of that work on my facebook page at (fkimagery).


Sticking my camera into a window to capture the view,I was thinking of jumping through but only two bars are broken off so dont think this old husky body of mine could fit through.Also a certain camp ground sits only a few feet away,im sure there were a few on lookers.


Walking away I felt happy has I got my video and finally a shot of the inside.
