There's an old real estate office which is now vacant up in Garner Valley. I love to stop there and take photos because, well, it's OLD. And deteriorating. And, it has a beautiful, huge Virginia creeper growing up on the outside of its fireplace which turns an amazing brilliant red in autumn. I do SO love old places like this. Actually this is the real estate office that we went to in 1971 when we bought our 5 acres of land up in Garner Valley. We had the acreage for a couple of years, until after our first child was born, and we had to sell it because I wasn't working. So, on this morning a couple of years ago, I stopped and took some photos, including this one which has the nearby pine trees reflected in its window. Weekend Reflections for October 20, 2012.

I too love places/things that are old...:)JP
ReplyDeleteFun story!!! I love old buildings too!!!
ReplyDeleteI understand you passion for old things. Nice sharing on the matter...
ReplyDeleteI remember that place thriving a bit when they first started selling lots up in Garner Valley for $35,000 to $50,000 a lot. I remember how folks in Idyllwild said how outrageous those prices were, but of course anything now is probably close to a million. I'm glad though that most of Garner Valley is left to the wilds.
