An abandoned, weathered building with a prominent, rusted yellow clock sign. The building is made of wood and metal, with visible decay and damage, set against a bright blue sky. A sidewalk and asphalt road are in the foreground, with trees and a building in the background.
Happy clock manipulating weekend to those who celebrate.

Theses are all off of a larger ranch in #nelsoncountyva. The first two #abandonedhouses appear to have been identical prior to the first's porch falling in.
I'm thinking these were maybe part of staff housing for the ranch at some point? #ruralexploration #historyinthewoods #backroadadventure
Found this little gem in Nelson County. It sits right off of Wilson Rd (VA 653), but I couldn't find any information on it online.
Anyone know what this church is/was and when it was last receiving parishioners?

What's your favorite find on a ride? I often think back to this random bike fence in the Nelson County highlands,. What a quirky thing to find in the middle of nowhere.
