Something about Jimi Hendrix

In 1961, in Seattle, Jimi Hendrix, barely 18 years old, was arrested by the police after being caught twice driving stolen cars. After spending a few days in detention, he ended up in court. During his trial, Hendrix faced a choice: serve time in prison or enlist in the military. Opting for the latter, he was enlisted on May 31, 1961, as a paratrooper in the airborne division. He was sent to Fort Ord, California, to join the 101st Airborne Division for eight weeks of training.

The experience wasn’t entirely negative, as it was during this time that he met Billy Cox. However, Hendrix’s time as a paratrooper at Fort Campbell lasted just a year. He managed to leave the military, a career he had never truly desired, due to a hip injury sustained during training.

I had a free friday yesterday and decided to take a trip to Ford Ord to do some urban exploration at the Abandoned Military Base.  It took us a little while to find it, but when we did find it, the place was well worth the trip.  It doesn't look like the place will be around much longer.  On the way back my friend Chris , an amazing landscape photographer wanted to do some astrophotography at Shark Fin Grove since we're already in the area and the timing was perfect.
