I explored what is oddly called Hotel California: It is neither a hotel nor in California or even near California. It is located in a massive wildlife refuge in the middle of Kentucky between two lakes. The house, which was last inhabited in 1965 has become a popular haunt for the locals of the area. It is by far the largest structure left from the pre-TVA era of the Land Between the Lakes era.

The building has somehow escaped the bulldozer multiple times and now rests in a forested hollow, far removed from civilization.

When I went to check it out I knew I wasn't going to expect much but it turned out to be a magical experience.

Not only did I meet quite a few people while I was there, but the place has become an art gallery for all the local graffiti artists.

So while a not super amazing find, I think it has magic to it because it has become a place ruled by no one that everyone can go and enjoy.

We also did a video of this place which is really short as the place was very tiny:
