Return to the Abandoned Rancho Appaloosa
Top Outpost
Near the main entrance to the ranch, there is a storage area and water tank. The contents of these buildings has decreased somewhat. All the spare roof slates have vanished for a start. About the only thing that remained were lots of white tubing outside. This tubing was used in the supports that surrounded the race track, so perhaps it can't be used for other purposes?
the Dorms in 2016
In 2016, this building looked pretty decent still. A lick of paint and some new windows, and who knows...
the Dorms in 2018
Now though, they don't look so pretty. Most of the tiles have gone for a start. What are the insides like?
2016: Swivel Chair Still Intact
In 2016, the inside of the dormitories, where the workers lived, was still in pretty good shape. Ok, this chair would be pretty uncomfortable, but if you swept the glass up the room would still be ok.
2018: Where Have All The Tiles Gone?
Now though, a lot of the tiles have gone. Were people taking the tiles, or were they after the pipes that ran beneath them?Either way, it isn't very pretty any more.

The Abandoned Rancho Appaloosa
I feel like apologising for the size of this blog, as it contains over 70 photos. However, this is a lovely place if you like urban exploring, and I felt that if I cut down the picture count I couldn't do it justice. I appreciate that it might not be for everybody though, so the first page contains spoiler photos of what to expect. If you find them interesting, then continue to the main blog!
Kouris Reservoir
We've neglected the dams for a while. They've overflowed, and now the waters are subsiding, ever so slightly. But what of the reservoirs further afield? Kouris has a church which is nearly submerged when it is full. So we thought we better photographed this semi-submerged church while it is still semi-submerged.Related Pages

The other day we saw an article about a mysterious church that had appeared in the Kouris Reservoir because of the low water level. When we got there it turned out to be a case of bad journalism. However, as we were in the area, we decided to revisit the abandoned Rancho Appaloosa, to see how much it had changed since we first found the place, in 2016.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
