I was just there yesterday ( 08/18/2024) and went back there again today. There are only about 8 of the original Barracks left. All wooden buildings. Incredibly beautiful, falling apart, collapsing, and fenced in by aluminum gate. It's scheduled for demo soon because that entire area is all new residential. I wish they would leave those as a relic of our American history

Great video. I was stationed at the Presidio of Monterey from 1997-2001. I would venture over to the recently closed Fort Ord and use the PX and commissary which were still open. I would also drive up and down the streets next to the abandoned barracks amazed at the number of them going to waste.

I drove from Virginia to Vegas using I-40 mostly last year and drove several sections of 66 as a side trip and remember that town thinking it was so close to the freeway. But I guess since San Jon was right on the freeway there was no reason to get off at Glenrio.

My dad told me he lived in Los Angeles, in what is now Inglewood, as a kid, about a mile from the LA river. He said the there was a particularly bad storm one winter where there was 2 feet of water at their house, a mile from the river, and that was when they decided to concrete the river to increase the flow of water through the river, and it has never flooded since. I’m curious why they don’t try to capture more of the river for water supply.

I hiked to Echo Mountain at least thirty times from Jr. High to after I got married, in the 60s to the 80s. From my jr. high math class window at Washington Jr. High, we could see them dynamite the remaining ruins. Very sad as we loved climbing around the old ruins. We hiked up the Echo Mountain Trail and also up the path of the Incline Railroad, a grueling hike. There is a working model of the Echo Mountain Incline RR, at the Train Garden in the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona. Hiked up there with my family, one last time, in the 90s. I worked with an old man who was a bootlegger during prohibition and he used to run whiskey and liquor up to the Echo Mountain Hotel, in his car.

They aren’t cannibals, cannibalism is eating one’s own species, red haired giants are not “human”, therefore them eating humans is not cannibalism. It’s a predator/prey dynamic

When I was younger and fitter we'd take the toll road up on our mountain bikes and come back down El Prieto trail. I've eaten a snack at the ruins after the climb.

Great video - keep making them and include more SoCal venues such as Riverside International Raceway, Ascot, Ontario Motor Speedway, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Dodger Stadium, Pomona Fairgrounds, etc. Sadly, now you can even include California Speedway....

If Ft. Ord was one of the Army's premier training bases, why wasn't it updated? It already looked like a product of the 40s, 50s in the 70s and 80s.
