Does anyone else like to travel to abandoned places?

Maverick County Memorial International Airport

This airport is near Eagle Pass, TX. It's not actually abandoned because it's still an active airport although they only average less than 2 flights per day. During WWII it was used as a pilot training base so there's lots of concrete and old hangers that have long since been abandoned. Inside the terminal they have lots of pictures dating back to WWII which show the hangers and dozens, if not hundreds of aircraft parked out on the apron.

I just happened to be passing through and had some time to kill so we wondered around the old spaces.


Thule, Greenland

When I was in the USAF, I had a temporary assignment to Thule AB. Next to the base is an abandoned fishing town that was moved by the Danish government when the base was constructed. There are numerous homes and a small cemetery there. The homes are nicely preserved since it remains cold enough for wood not to rot.
