November 2008 and I'm out exploring the local mountains, again. Here we are in Bankhead Springs at the old Bankhead Springs Hotel. At this time, it was empty and abandoned. Doors were unlocked, with nobody was around. So we (my Aunt and I) went exploring. I took lots more pictures inside and out. But I can't seem to find them! So we'll just have to settle for the next few.
Apparently, the old building is still there, but it's gone through lots of changes - even over just the past 11 years! Here's some other adventurer's blog entries with several more modern pictures:
