187 Gosnell Rd-Travelers Rest SC


This is an empty, abandoned mobile home I saw while driving(joyriding) in Travelers Rest SC. I especially like the Tigerville area and would often drive through there looking for anything empty or anything interesting I could take pictures of. It's a beautiful area that hasn't been overdeveloped yet like many other surrounding areas. I don't visit so much anymore because of the saving money issue. But I've accumulated hundreds of photographs since the time of trying to save gas thus money especially since I've started driving a bigger automobile once again. My small car afforded me more opportunities to drive while still not spending an arm and a leg on fuel but for now it has to be a bigger car not that I don't really like my bigger car better for comfortability especially when I drive further distances.
I just don't take so many pictures when I go to Virginia and Kentucky and Georgia, not sure why I just don't unless it's of waterfalls, lakes, rivers, etc. then I do.

This mobile home was abandoned and empty the last time I drove by it which has been several months.

Abandoned Gas Station-Marietta SC


I'm sure the people that live in this area probably pass by this old gas station every day or quite often and by now to them it is just an eyesore they wish someone would tear down.
It's been awhile since I've been in this area, probably several months now since I've been trying to save money by saving gas and staying home more and when I've been out I've chosen to explore other places. Marietta is a very nice area in SC and I love to explore it. I take turns however exploring different places.
When I was at this old gas station I could see where a homeless person had managed to crawl under one of the garage doors to get inside. The side door now stands wide open. I didn't dare go inside being alone. I just stood outside and snapped some pictures.

849 E Preston/McDaniel Rd-Pickens SC




This house is actually located on the corner of E Preston/McDaniel Road and Hwy 288. One photo is the front view and the other is the back of the house. It is clearly abandoned and empty however someone does come to the place on occasion as I saw farming equipment. The doors were wide open with a lawnmower in the back room of the house. The house is very rundown as can be imagined.
*
Interest level: A 9 on a scale of 1-20. Interesting place and there are many others in the Pickens county area. It's a beautiful area.

204 S Blythe Shoals Dr-Cleveland SC

You can barely see the old abandoned house back behind all the trees and bushes but it is there. There are several abandoned properties on this one road alone. I guess that is a sign of the times or a lot of people died in this one area. There is said to be a ghost in this area and I wonder if that might have something to do with all the empty houses on the street.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Interest level: Scale 1-20, a 5. Not too interesting but the location is. It is also home to the blythe shoals dam where the ghost has allegedly been seen.

Abandoned Business-Salem SC




Abandoned Business-Cherokee Path Rd-Salem SC

This is an old abandoned business I found while out exploring. It looks to be an old restaurant. Salem is pretty much a dead zone as far as business goes. There is a fair number of residential homes with people living in them but as with all places it has it's fair share of abandoned and empty homes and business.

Interest level: Scale 1-20, a 5.5. There isn't too much to see in Salem. You can park right in front of the building but I don't suggest trying to find a way in. It's in an obvious location and it's trespassing if you do go in.
As always be safe.

Dacusville Horse Farm-Adamsville SC





This appears to be an abandoned horse farm/stables. Right in front is this big horse. There is still a pasture with horses in it but this building is blocked off. It looks more like a mechanic shop of some sort but with the horse in front I assume it was a business for horses.
The old abandoned house with the old car that posted about in my last post is right next door to 2019 dacusville rd. Not too close but next door. It is interesting. Haunted? No.
Interest level: 1-20 scale, a 9. You can park on the road.
