I can imagine anybody can find the location of all these places, but do they really want to go there? LOL. Looking at all the photos in this site, and others, it is good to keep in mind the factoid, that your roof is real important. Looking at all the water damage, and rot, it is scary at how in a short time, damage like this can happen to any structure. I wonder how all these places would look, if just the roofs were kept up, all this time.
