I think it's ambient light, perhaps sunlight filtering in through foliage - thanks!

No, we only checked out one floor here and headed for the older buildings... sounds intriguing though.

I think I passed over those letters, being astounded by the view of the buildings... interesting, I'm not sure what they read.

Yes chain link is really a waste of money if no one is watching it. The more one puts up, the more places become available for a quick hop on over, or a few snips for the non-jumping types. It isolates the building from the public eye... one can even feel safer inside the fence in some situations.

It's really not that difficult to secure a place (as large as Bennett or bigger) at a relatively low cost. Not many people in charge of that situation seem to really sit down and think about it.

No, this was lit by my flashlight - the basement was pitch black.

No, I'm pretty careful about that kind of thing (propping things in the door to keep the lock from engaging)

It's dead

Nope

Yes, this stairwell leads up into the top part of the clock tower.

Thanks - I haven't re-visited PCH since 2005, but it was indeed a neat place!

I think it was concrete :-)

Probably "smoking area," these are usually designated in day rooms / common areas.

It's possible - most hydrotherapy tubs I've seen have some kind of jets to move the water around, while these were just ordinary bathtubs, with no securing mechanisms for canvas covers (like these http://www.opacity.us/...ontinuous_bath_time/ ).

Definitely a good possibility!

Most of the original buildings should have been refurbished into condos; personally I haven't been back since this trip to see myself.
