Exploring ABANDONED Route 66 with My Racecar! (Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma)

What happens here

While driving on a Texas Farm Road, a yellow bin lid from the truck's bed flies off due to wind. He stops to retrieve it, noting that the merchandise (shirts) inside remained safe. He then enters Downtown McLean, Texas, observing the numerous neglected buildings. He reflects on the difference between truly abandoned properties and those that are simply neglected but still owned, emphasizing the importance of respecting property boundaries in Texas, where property owners might take issue with trespassers.

Goal: Safely recover lost equipment and continue documenting abandoned/neglected buildings

Tools and materials

  • Merchandise Bin Lid — Covering merchandise
  • Truck Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Dually — Transportation
