Hi Y'all,

I have a bit of a fixation with photographing old gas stations, run down interesting buildings, Etc. If any of you, from NM through CO and up to WY, happen to know of any stuff that looks like the images posted below, I'd dearly love a PM with location information, as well as which direction (E/W/N/S) the structure faces. Here are a few examples:

The real trick is finding pictures of those places way back when. [Flower]

I recognize medicine bow wyoming

[Ah Pook]

Old barns abound out east.

Head up toward Hancock Pass. Lots of mining buildings, some old train cars ans a ghost town.

I like the pics. [Beer]

Drive greeley, you'll find em.

[TheGrey]

Have you Googled "abandoned buildings Colorado" or "abandoned buildings Wyoming"? A lot of sites offer the addresses of very interesting places.

A weekend in the Arkansas valley should yield some good results for you. Born and raised in La Junta, head south on hwy 50 from Pueblo and you may find quite a few treasures.

Agate and Deer Trail seemed to have quite a few last time we drove through.

There is an abandoned truck stop in the San Luis valley between monte vista and alamosa

Standard Oil Company gas station. Broadway and East Evans in Pueblo. http://www.google.com/maps?q=&layer=c&z=17&iwloc=A&sll=38.257709,-104.621357&cbp=13,284.8,0,0,0&cbll=38.257708,-104.621354&sa=X&ei=OreNUcnpLcfuyAGHzYDwCw&ved=0CDAQxB0wAA

Next time I make a trip back home to rural southeast Iowa, I'll hook you up with some photos.

Drive I-15 in utah Richfield fillmore Holden sipio any where from 3-5 per town and their only about 1.5 hrs apart. For that matter their is probably about 50 small towns that have buildings like that in utah beaver santaquin Mona just to name a few.

[hatidua]

Thanks for all the input so far, I appreciate it! :)

[gnihcraes]

Just get off on Highway 70 at Limon, head down 287/40 through Limon, Hugo, Kit Carson, Cheyenne Wells, Head North up to Burlington, then West on I70, stratton, strausburg, byers, bennett and such back into denver. Any of the small towns, two lane highways.

[TheGrey]

I'll try and remember to bring a camera with me the next time we go through South Dakota. LOTS of spooky old abandoned houses there.

[Monky]

I will be in Trinidad tomorrow. I'll get a picture of the whole town

Me too! [Awesom] Have you seen this website?: http://www.lostamerica.com

South on 50?

The Texas panhandle has a lot of abandoned buildings. Texline used to have quite a few, but it seems a lot of them were torn down the last time I went through. Hope, AR (where Clinton is from) is a real craphole with LOTS of abandoned buildings.

[buffalobo]

If you don't already have it, there is one in Roggen, just south of I-76, next to the tracks.

Unfortunately, someone torched it since I made that photo, I drove by it yesterday and it was just a foundation and ashes...

[brutal]

I have a few randoms I'm rather proud of, but now that Picasa is totally useless google+ photo I need to re-upload some stuff somewhere else.

[Ah Pook]

There is always the UER site too. Might give you some direction. One of the members posts histories and pics of abandoned oil towns in OK.

Just checked that site out, could prove very helpful, thanks.

Ah hell, a few too many PBR's, east on 50.

I passed one today on the way to Brighton. I can't recall if it was before or after I went from 76 E to 85...

Here you go, grabbed this off of Google Maps just now. Hartsel Sheriff's office off of Hwy 9, faces North. Sorry it wasn't in a PM.
