URBEX: Abandoned Apartment Building

Julie and I call these the "bee apartments." In fact, it was the location of one of the chapters of our book, "Abandoned Places: Abandoned Memories (Desert Edition)" On our recent road trip, we stopped by it again. The last time we went there, it was wintertime. Summer brought the green to life and the building to be even more aged. A neighbor told us this apartment building in the old mining town was abandoned for 15 years. The desert is rough on these buildings. In fact, under the porch, there was a honeybee hive about 6-8 feet wide!
