Old Time Paintball

These pics are from some time ago back in the mid 90′s. I’ve been scanning some old film prints in lately and just had to share these.

This was an abandoned field worker housing area right next to Lake Paris, CA. Check the MAP->http://bit.ly/9XGx2e

I can’t remember who discovered this place but it was seriously awesome, and even the cops didn’t mind us playing there. A couple of times we had some actually pull up and watch us play!

My favorite story = One time we showed up on a Saturday morning and found an abandoned car parked right in the middle of the main alley. We screamed out and even checked EVERY house and no one was there. So someone yelled “LIGHT IT UP”…and we did. That car looked like Willy Wonka vomit by the time we were done splattering it with color. About 2 minutes after we ceased fire, some drunken meth head comes crawling up out of the bushes, stumbles over and gets in. He fires it up and starts to drive away but only gets about 50 yards until he has to get out and use a handkerchief to try and make a peep hole to see through the caked on paint. None of us said a damn word for a good 60 second count after he finally got back in and took off. We ERUPTED with laughter for at least 15 minutes solid before any words were spoken.

I seriously miss that place. About 6 months after these shots were taken the county came in and bull dozed the building and cleared it completely out.
