This morning I headed south to Pulaski County's main station in Hawkinsville, GA. It was not my first visit to the massive, old, nine-bay metal building, deep enough for a tractor-trailer tanker or two normal size rigs, in each bay. During a visit in 2012, I photographed six rigs I had not previously shot. I stopped by again last spring and there were another four or five rigs I had never seen before, but there was no one around that could move them outside for me. They have five other unmanned stations in the County and things get moved around a lot. Part of my plan today was to get photos of those rigs, but things don't always go as planned! When I arrived, I found that the station was empty and abandoned, as was the police department next door. A short time later, I found someone who directed me to the new station. When I got there, the bays were open, filled with all the rigs from 2012 trip. The rigs from last year were nowhere to be found, just like the guys on duty. After about an hour's wait, I gave up. Maybe next time.....
I did, however, find this rig sitting behind the station, not lettered or in service and undergoing some repairs. Since it was parked as it was, I took the shot and added it to the list of the other rigs I will return for. Does anyone recognize it from it's previous Navy base?
