1336 Time Capsule

Welder. Time Capsule. Also has a DH+ PanelView 1000 Classic. The RIO/ScanPort module died after a power outage event. Radwell had one. Overnight shipped it. Set DIP switches, and it worked! Was a simpler time in 1995...

Hanna School - Louisiana

In 1912 the Red River Parish School District built the Hanna School for African American students. According to one source, the class sizes were on the small size. During the 1930s the school was renovated.

By the 1970s the school was segregated by race. In 1980 the school was integrated and both white and African American students were in Attendance. At that time school was considered state of the art by the Red River Parish School Board.

in 2001 Asbestos was found in the walls and roof. By 2002 the school was abandoned.

Now nature is reclaiming the building.

EDIT: Upon further reading it was either built 1912 or 1930's. It closed in 1960's, 1978 or 2002. It has been abandoned as long as I can remember (since at least early 2000's).

3 days fishing in Gulf of America. So many unmanned platforms. No... We did not board any. Did not have a tetanus shot handy! But we did do well fishing.
