Abandoned Gas Stations

Off Route 66, Northern Arizona

by Michael Satterfield

All over the US there are abandoned gas stations, some lost out to the interstates, while others just died for some unknown reason. Many have a style all their own and a few have been repurposed and saved, but for the majority of them, they are slowly rotting away. Here are some I have spotted on my travels across America.
