Wow, wouldn't it be a shame if something they purchased, they liked and they used, somehow, someway got vandalized and destroyed? I wonder how they'd feel about that.
The Tramp was put there for Wet T-Shirt Girls and beer drinking.You see who can drink the most beer while jumping on the tramp

I was there last yr , this same time of yr , with 2 friends . It was my 1 st visit to Brooksbrae. We were admiring the ruins. Out of no where comes someone on a quad .I think thats in Manchester , they are doing a lot of development in that general area .I was under the impression most of the area was "protected " , but they just keep on building ....
Most of the area around Brooksbrae is state owned land. They are building something (another retirement village?) on 539, though.
I could hold up a sign, jump up and down on it, and maybe a pilot or two would read it and report it for me.

Wow. I haven't been there in a bit, but that graffiti is definitely getting worse and worse. Thanks for sharing the older photos guys, it's nice to see that place in more of a natural decay state.
Just bored kids (or adults really) trying to let each other know who's roaming out there. Sucks that kind of crap has to happen in the pines.

The beautiful "Art" at Brooksbrae. I got to tour this place this weekend. Although, in a sick way the art is pretty neat. Some not so much. It definitely adds character that's for sure!

The only thing i saw there half way neat would be the Rebel Flag and that was done wrong,no surprise there.The true Confederate battle flag was square not rectangular and it was bordered in white not black and I would say it is in an inappropriate place as well.Some of it was obviously put there by a coward who would not sign his name to it.
To all of the good people on the forum, be careful when you walk around the ruins. The area is loaded with Poison Ivy. In fact the collapsed drying tunnels are filled with plant. It also overhangs the walls. If you walk along the front and the area where the tower is you will fine. Just be aware of the poison when you walk along the tunnels and especially along their backside.
Poison Ivy will be changing its color and dropping its leaves in the coming weeks, but none the less it can still cause itchy and painful rashes if you come in contact with the leaves that are on the ground or on the plant.

My favorite was the portrait of the red head. Reminds me of Ariel. Lol. I thought it was actually pretty.
Gibby thanks for the update.
Can't wait for more exploring!
