Very cool video. I can not remember specifically being to Glenrio, but we traveled a lot between Oklahoma and Texas to California in the 60's and 70's. We were on route 66 so we must have been through there. As an adult, I have been to the New Mexico Visitors center on I-40 a few times though. Thanks for posting this.
Wow that was so cool going into all those old buildings!! I have always been so intrigued about route 66,and I come across your video,hoping to have a look inside these old structures. And i was not disappointed 👍🏻🤩 A big thankyou for posting!! Stay safe and God bless!
was just there two months ago- did you ck out the two old bridges ?really cool. and if you go to the devils rope museum in McLean tx, check out the towns museum to the west in town, its not advertised but its great.
Hi Sally, I am planning to take a trip down Route 66 in the near future. I have always wanted to travel 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, and I hope there will be a lot to see...if some of the places are still around. lol, A good video and thank you for sharing. :)
Awesome Bob! Enjoy your trip. There are still some really cool places to see. I highly recommend getting off the Interstate (there’s a long section of Route 66 that travels along I40 (? I think that’s the interstate) and checking out the little towns on the actual road itself. Have fun, safe travels!
@@SightseeingSally Thank you for your kind advice. and good wishes Sally. I will check out the long section of Route 66 sounds very interesting and fun.
Hi Sally, What used to be is no more. It seems the newer highways left route 66 to decay over time. It is an historic road now, and many reminders of the past. Progress makes way and ghost towns are left to decay. Thank you for the tour Sally....it was an interesting look into the past. :)
You're welcome Harry! Glad you enjoyed watching the video :) As far as your question about the hobby being safe, it all depends on where you are exploring and what you are doing. I like to scope areas like this out a bit ahead of time before jumping in - that way I can get a feel for the area, look for any potential safety issues, and be sure I'm not walking into something hazardous. And, I follow the old scouting rule of using the buddy system. That way, if something does happen, my chances of getting help are better than if I was alone.
That old stone building just needs a set of rafters and a sheet metal roof to be almost habitial. The electric and water would be more difficult. Good place to be alone.
We recently spoke to a Realtor in Amarillo who has gotten us a offer back in Early 2017 to buy all the properties, about 45 acres total which is Glen Rio ( 32 on the texas side, and 12,4 on the new mexico side) to make a Cattle transfer Station out of the location and the price they wanted for whats really a dirty BROWN SITE now is 700% over market value. The owners are elderly, bad managers, people who can't get past some emotional attachment and when they die expect to get it for pocket change! Seems the future Heirs of it will dump it asap!
@@SightseeingSally well all we can do is work with what we have. I am not complaining.. I was just letting you know. Hope you didn't take it the wrong way. Filming is something I leave to a crew. I suck at editing too.. but I love giving information to people. I love history. I own the original birth-site of John Ringling. Of the circus.
In McGregor, IA? I was there! Not at the actual house, tho. I was glamping with my daughter in Pikes Peak a couple years ago. We stopped in McGregor and walked around. I saw a few things dedicated to the Ringling Bros but didn’t see the house where John Ringling was born.

Pretty neat...I think it's a blast to walk around in old places like this. I like to imagine what happened while the place was alive and kicking.
THAT IS CRAZY. You always notice and talk about stuff I would have missed. Thanks Sally
You’re very welcome 😁

Different content style in these early videos. Nice explore.

I like your videos keep up the great work
Love your videos, Thanks Sally,
+Tim Hughes Sr - aww, thanks Tim 😊
theres some really cool old bridges and more buildings just west of here on the gravel portion of 66
Hey Sparky, that's really cool - thanks for the info! I'll have to check it out next time I am back in the area. :)

And, yes, there might be some interesting metal detecting finds - you never know what could be out there.

I agree, nice and quiet without all the traffic passing by anymore.

+John Daniel - interesting. Sounds like Glenrio will continue to be abandoned... for now anyway.
WOW
+John Hall - thanks for watching & commenting :) if you haven't already, please subscribe. would be great to have you in the community, John.

Thanks Daniel 😊
Gotta up your audio quality.
+Robert Schilling - Appreciate your feedback Robert, thank you 😊 It's great to hear from you!
Audio sucks. But other wise cool.
Yeah, this is an old video. I was using a camera that didn’t have a port for a microphone back then.

@@SightseeingSally you drove passed when you left pikes peak and headed into town. It's really small.
Why do you talk so slow?
