Environmental Services Faculty Headquarters (BMWTD #4)

The other day, I went to the Environmental Services Faculty Headquarters, which is basically what it sounds like. All the faculty of the Environmental Service at Davis have their Headquarters in this building. 

This is the farthest building I've been out to see so far. It was seriously surrounded by dirt. Just dirt.

The building itself was in an oasis of trees. In the dirt.

The front door looked real nice. It had these cool pillars and windows and everything.

The rest of the building was slightly underwhelming in terms of architecture.

The building was off limits to people like me, and I couldn't even bike all the way around it because the area was fenced off except for the road in the picture above, and even that was restricted access.

I took a picture of myself. I don't know if I was smiling or anything, so it looks like I can only go two days while smiling for pictures. Sorry...

There were also a cell tower or two. I don't know what they were for, so I'm just assuming their broadcasting communist propaganda.

Western Center for Agricultural Equipment (BMWTD #2)

For my second building to visit at UC Davis, I decided to go to the Western Center for Agricultural Equipment (WCAE). This building is where many courses on Applied Biological Systems Technology are taught.

So all of the 258 buildings I am going to visit, excluding those in Cuarto, are supposed to be within the UC Davis limits, but apparently, the WCAE is not on campus because when I returned, I saw the sign above.

Anyway, I continued my journey off-campus. I actually had to go across the highway to get to where the building was located, on Hills Drive. Although I was sort of lost, I took a nice picture of the sunset.

When I was almost to the WCAE, the road was blocked by a fence with a menacing red diamond, so I maneuvered my bike around the fence, parked it, then went back around the fence to take a picture.

I was slightly worried that I wasn't supposed to go past the menacing red diamond, so I didn't go far after going around it. I did see the building, but from a distance. In the picture above, it's the big warehouse-looking building.

I did see one example of the Agricultural Equipment mentioned, but I must say, it wasn't in the best of conditions.

I took a picture of myself with the WCAE in the background, and this time, no guy on a bike was looking at me funny, so I actually allowed myself to smile.

Though seeing the building and the menacing red diamond was fun, the highlight of the trip by far was seeing the great big pile of tumble weeds by the side of the road across from the building, so I took a picture of them, then made my way back to campus.
