It might have been that I just stumbled upon it. Driving through Iowa was part of a month-long road trip I took to explore abandoned sites in the Rust Belt. I also stopped to check out abandoned places in each state along the way. I talk more about my motivation for the Rust Belt road trip in this article: http://www.placesthatwere.com/2016/03/out-of-frying-pan-and-into-rust-belt.htmlPlacesThatWerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906573012383225740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-18722702877173699682017-01-08T14:51:25.521-08:002017-01-08T14:51:25.521-08:00I live about an hour from this asphalt plant.

I stumbled across your instagram page and was intrigued with your posts, which lead me here. I see you're based out of LA. What made you travel through Iowa, and in to Illinois? Was this a planned trip to the asphalt plant or did you conveniently stumble across it? My family owns and operates an asphalt paving business so I'm more than familiar with this equipment, and why I'm curious about your trip. Just wanted to say great post, and looking forward to reading your other posts as well.

The things that are most tempting are small vintage relics that will almost certainly be destroyed by time or vandals. I once found a stack of letters a guy wrote to his girlfriend in the '60s when he was in the service. They were left in an abandoned garage with a bunch of other mementos. It seemed like such a shame that no one was preserving these important pieces of a person's life.PlacesThatWerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906573012383225740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-22885384696504590152016-10-10T10:32:45.468-07:002016-10-10T10:32:45.468-07:00Great pics.
