I planned on calling this post “Going North” because I was traveling north from Govenor Linden’s Mansion. As usual, I lost my sense of direction and I ended up flitting from place to place until I wound up in the first region, Da Boom. How fitting.
The first interesting thing I found was this old beanstalk. If you can get to the top without flying (as observed by the owner), they will pay you L$500. Well, the challenge dates from 2003, but maybe it’s still in effect.

Here, at the center of Second Life, is a little remnant of what used to be the outskirts… the Outlands.

A sculpure. It’s ugly, but it’s old.

The Azura Hotel is a very old structure and still intact. Behind it are the remnants of the original Second Life Botanical Gardens.

Second Life Fever is a very old dance club featuring a dance machine with some very old dance loops. Experience clubbing how it used to be! Actually, that sounds like fun, if one culd get a group together. Music is a problem, though — the music stream is long dead.

It’s the burning man! Still buring, since 2004.

It’s interesting to find left over history from when they just moved the grid to being publically available. I was exploring some of the oldest sims and happened on a red treasure hunt box in a river near a collapsed bridge (not all constructions in SL are well maintained, apparently
). that was rezzed in 2004.
