Click here to see a 1995 aerial photo of the drive-in. Note the unusual pattern of straight rows, rather than rows that curve around the screen.

Spruces had grown to completely shroud the sign, making this a difficult photo to get.

The wooden panels shown in the above photo were set up to keep rubbernecking viewers of the X-rated movies from taking in any of the off-screen "entertainment" in neighboring cars. Photos taken June 1998.
