Afton Mountain, Virginia along I-64 west of Charlottesville should be a beautiful scene as you climb up on your drive over this mountain. But there is apparently one owner of most of the land atop Afton Mountain. Once there were busy businesses but for years this area has been a disintegrating eyesore. The owner flatly refuses to remove these broken down rusted out, burned out building for whatever reason he has. The guardrails are old and rusting too.

The owner of this mountain apparently is responsible for cleaning up and even replacing these ancient guardrails, so why isn't he doing what any decent land owner would do instead of being stubborn and disobeying common sense and maybe the law by refusing to make this mountain as beautiful as it was before his handiwork ever came along. I understand his name is Dulaney.

The last picture is the view when the camera is turned 180 degrees to the valley on the other side of this mountain. This is the view that should exist looking back to Charlottesville instead of only seeing rusty, burned out, eyesore buildings.
