The beginning of a new hobby

While on vacation in July, somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix we came across these abondoned Motels. I quickly got a shot of the signs thru the van Window because I thought they looked interesting:




Then outside of Phoenix, we saw what appears to be an abandoned Race Track:



Totally fascinating. So then I started keeping my eyes open for more abandoned businesses.

It's kind of hard to tell but this is a circle of very tall palm trees. There were about 3 of these but we were passing so fast I had a hard time getting my camera ready fast enough to get a pic. Not sure what they would have been - maybe a fancy RV park?



Somewhere in eastern California, not too far past the palm trees, I barely caught this abandoned gas station:




So then I decided I was going to try to capture all of the abandoned businesses I could along the way.
