    Today went for a rather short ride to a local abandoned place: The Alvira Ammo Bunkers.
    The Alvira Bunkers in Union County, PA, are abandoned ordnance bunkers that date back to World War 2. Find out how you can find them for yourself and explore this fascinating area.

    This is one that’s open to explore. Reminds me of the Medora Brick Pant in Southern Indiana.

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

        But, Ah, you dont wanna see that.

        Well, actaully......
        I stayed long enough to let them look thru about 10 photo prints (5x7) I had made, some that they had commented on online, pier/beach/sunset/LocalScenes.
        and I let them pick one. And I mounted on magnetic backing for them.

          Yep, I figure it got stuck in Park because I never used it before, and never used Lock before either. I had been hesitiant to use the Lock becuase have heard it it getting stuck. I used the Park because I wanted to turn on the tail light, but I didnt know it also operates the Lock Mechanism.

          SHort discussion:
          "Lock" is push and turn key all the way one way. WHich operates a mechanical throw to lock handlebars.
          "Park" is push and turn key all the way the other way. WHich turns on the tail light (powered my main fuse, not the tail light fuse), AND also operates the lock.

          I freed it by by getting some lube on the throw from undeneath (after Rich82 showed me what to look for. Is Much harder to see on GK), and then essentailly pushing it back up from underneath while wiggling/turning the key. It wasnt the ignition key/lock that was stuck, it was the handle bar lock throw that was stuck.

          More detail:
          82 GS1100GK I Put the ignition swtich in Park position (turn to ON , push in, turn further to right), and tail light only comes on ..... and now switch is stuck there. Push key in.. wiggle key.... wiggle handbars ... mutter.. mumble... cant get key to turn back.... (pulled main fuse so battery not run flat) All my years here

            Interesting

            Is enclosed. Is abaondonded. Is round. Is domed.
            ANy concern for it collapsing if made any sound?
            Any open pits to fall into?

            No open vent for light.
