Whiting Bros. Gas Station - New Mexico

Written By Elliot Koeppel

Whiting Brothers (there were four of them), was established in 1926. During their peak years of operation there were more than a hundred filling stations, fifteen motels and various truck stops operating along the nation's highways (including at least 40 on Route 66). Everyone who traveled the highways knew their familiar red-on-yellow signs and billboards.

This Whiting Bros Gas Station is rapidly falling apart. The sign has fallen and bushes are beginning to take over the lot on which it sits. This is a lonely corner.

Nothing I could find of the motel and market that was once in this same area.

It's tough to read, but it's creepy as heck, so maybe that's a good thing. Out on an old dam out in Joshua Tree National Park is this strange poem about Little William. https://youtu.be/Vs8MsLQy4jY . . . . #joshuatreenationalpark #jtnp #roadtrip #nat

Spent a couple hours wandering about the Anaconda Gold Mine out at Joshua Tree National Park. Shrunk it down into a ten-minute YouTube video 😎 https://youtu.be/JqXHvQlNK2k . . . . #joshuatreenationalpark #jtnp #exploratography #goldmine #anacondagol
Did you know the same sculptor who made the Cabazon dinosaurs also worked at Knott's Berry Farm for many years and created most of the "Bench People" you see in Ghost Town. https://www.exploratography.com/blog-cal/the-bench-people-knotts-be
