ABANDONED - Interstate Off Ramp Complex In The Desert

[@adamthewoo]

If you've checked out my daily vlog channel as well thumb this comment up

[@RockyXTV]

+adamthewoo Love the Tremors reference!

[@ForkInTheRoad33]

+adamthewoo Literally laughing out loud at the screwed joke! Sorry I'm an ass at times. Thumbs up from me!

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

Thumbs up my exploring friend.

[@bryantint1339]

+adamthewoo I think I recognize this location. I was there ironically one time with my 2013 Chevrolet and U Haul trailer in the back. That 990 pound U Haul trailer and when loaded it was 1500 pounds with 156 pound tongue weight. My car is only rated for 1000 pounds towing with 100 pound tongue weight. I revised it to 3500 pounds and 200 pound tongue weight. My car can tow with that 217 CID Cadillac V-6. LOL! Actually, I was moving my stuff from Chino Hills, California to Bellevue, Washington where I am at currently too. I think that place you showed is that Halloran Springs Road or something like that. Or it could be Halloran Summit. I have no idea. I know it's along that I-15 towards Las Vegas. I sometimes go to Washington State via Nevada, Idaho, and Montana. Cut across that Idaho too. Simple!

[@ElementofKindness]

+adamthewoo I think I caught you exploring an abandoned mine Adam. I swear, it sounds just like you! /watch?v=q4VNMI7wNvE

[@themaconeau]

At 7:14, its not an alarm system but a Gilbarco Tank Monitor 3, as the closeup at 7:18 suggests. It would monitor the underground fuel tanks for water, flow issues, etc and would monitor the gas and diesel fuel tanks in one unit. It would also monitor levels of fuel for resupply ordering (I think ).

[@adpainter77]

Yep. Have one at the Exxon I work at.

[@FieldOpain]

The gate was to use the bathrooms, so you pay there and when you entered that house, you should've checked those bottles and check the expiration date to get an idea from how long ago this was

[@cwf081166]

Film set for the new AMC series "Breaking Sad"

[@sergiojurado932]

LOL

[@flyingninja1234]

Cancelled half way through the pilot. 😀😎

[@iquit.8852]

lol

[@curtisj555]

Thanks for exploring all these places along interstate 15. I have wondered about these places the numerous times I've driven past and you've calmed my curiosities.

[@nexgenhippy]

'We were somewhere around Barstow, near the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...'

[@haunteddisaster3691]

We cant stop here. It's bat country

[@isaacpeelrocks]

Hey dude i love your videos and been subbed for a very long time and you are one of the first youtuber i watched keep it up

[@davehartzoge5629]

I will be honest, I fell asleep watching videos and woke up to Adamthewoo exploring something. Now I am binge watching all of the videos. This is some really interesting stuff and I appreciate the effort in it!

[@n1lla]

+DAVE HARTZOGE If you haven't seen it yet watch the one of the 'Hales Bar Dam'. Its my favorite of his abandoned videos.

[@THX--nn5bu]

Thank you for posting this Adam, I stopped in that same gas station long time ago when I was a 20 something in the 80's, Im originally from the Vegas area and I must of traveled on the I-15 countless times through the Mojave Desert on down to the LA area. We stopped in places like Baker and the Calico Ghost town a few times and not to mention I spent a sun burnt weekend one time at what used to be Lake Dolores. Thank you for reliving my travels to and from on the I-15 in the Great Mojave.......I now live in Southern Utah which is not too far from there.

[@adamthewoo]

+TK “Darth Dan” xz420 very cool. thanks for watching

[@njcowboy78]

Adam! I've been away from my KZbin channel for a while. It's so great to see all these new videos!

[@RLoz76]

Wow, Uncle Rico's van sure is in bad shape.

[@adamthewoo]

+Rob.Lo haha it sure is

[@signalstatstevedouglas1387]

merry Christmas woo and thanks for what you do for the people of youtube. 🎁

[@MaxZomboni]

According to Wikipedia: "Halloran Springs is an unincorporated community in the Mojave Desert. It is located on I-15 between Baker, California and Las Vegas, Nevada, approximately 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Baker. The stretch of road near Halloran Springs has been the sight of numerous accidents over the years, especially on Sunday and early Monday morning, as tourists returning to Southern California from weekends in Las Vegas often fall asleep at the wheel on this stretch of highway."

[@Fergusonc210]

great video as always. been sad there's not been as many abandoned videos, but all are good. much love from Scotland :)

[@susank8371]

This is awesome Adam, thanks for sharing it with us. It is so sad to see lost gems like this, go into disrepair. Also, thanks for the gas pump footage, I feel much better knowing exactly how it works.

[@RosscoSoletrain]

Love this stuff man! Abandoned stuff, old signage, Weird Gate, beaten and burned vehicles and graffiti!!! Awesome! Btw Your buddy Carpet Bagger has been bring heat lately as well!

[@adamthewoo]

+Rossco Soletrain yeah Jacob is awesome

[@CheshireTomcat68]

Proper old skool ATW vid, reason I subscribed to this voyage of wonder in the first place, glad I came along for the ride!

[@GregOnYoutube]

Keep on keepin on Adam,,, Love the abandoned stuff!

[@LegitJames]

9 months ago you hit 100k subscribers. you're almost at 200k! Congrats Mr. Woo!

[@FedralBI]

Hey Adam, I was curious, do you ever meet people living/squatting in the places you visit? What's your protocol for dealing with them, and do any of them get mad at you for coming through their area? Thanks for all you do and all the places you take us. :)

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

+FedralBI I was wondering the same thing.

[@Minerva7]

+FedralBI - Good question!

[@TeamHeresy]

following

[@josho5108]

+FedralBI Throw a snickers bar into their midst and run like hell

[@SLACKLINEDUDE]

squaring drinking alcohol? ;)

[@Fearlessfranek]

Love the places you go! Never stop exploring

[@everydaybob3481]

Viewed a few of your videos and will watch more. Thank you! I liked your style

[@quiksilvermanblue]

that gate area is for the pay toilets. The more you know

[@adamthewoo]

+quiksilvermanblue crazy, never thought of that

[@MattGodzilla2000]

You know it's funny, when I first found your channel, I was on vacation in california...

[@ForkInTheRoad33]

Seriously a great video! You let your personality shine!!

[@DCFixxer]

That wasn't a security system. It was a point of sale device for the gasoline.

[@adamthewoo]

+DC Fixx ahh ok thanks for the heads up

[@DCFixxer]

No problem. Still waiting for you to get back to Texas so we can do the Texas Chainsaw Remake locations ;)

[@josho5108]

+DC Fixx Yep it sure looked like a P.O.S. device

[@dennisrockefeller366]

It actually IS an alarm system for fuel/diesel tanks. Sensors for leaks, etc...went into this panel.

[@DCFixxer]

ColtDeltaElite10mm So it wasn't a security system then, right?

[@LanternLooney]

Funny how an Ad can load but the actual video won't.

[@lonekazoo]

I remember stopping there several times many years ago when my parents dragged us around on vacation in an old Buick station wagon (I was always in the "tailgunner" rear-facing seat--and to this day it's the reason why I can't look people in the eye when I drive without sneering at them). It used to be a Stuckey's Stop. It was one of the last ones in operation out here in the west, if I remember correctly. The coin operated gate was to see a paid attraction, which my parents would never let us see...and now that I'm older I'm glad they didn't waste their money. I'm pretty sure the attraction was to see a "two-headed snake." There would be signs for miles in both directions, and kids would nag their parents for 100 miles to stop (at least we did). My mother would always stop for the cactus jelly, cactus candy, or Pecan log rolls. I remember one had signs advertising to motorists to "Stop and see a Baby Rattler," which of course was a...real plastic babie's rattle. Now that cars don't overhead and break down as much (and better gas mileage), most of these places are long gone.

[@gabrielbennett5162]

I remember that place! Saw it when I drove through Barstow on the way back east.

[@brianlynch649]

Nice job Adam. Hope you had a good christmas

[@kirstywhittington1759]

Awesome channel adam!! altho you filmed great abandoned places in the u.s.a have you thought of filming abroad? is there anywhere in the world you would like to film? Also i would like to wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR xx

As always another cool and funny video ! He always makes me laugh !

[@koravar2001]

I shall always join you! thanks for all you do Adam.

[@Erica85255]

I really liked this video! The end literally made me 'laugh out loud.' 😆

[@BrianSterowski]

The mirror shot! LOL!!!

[@GhettoWagon]

Everywhere you look at that place- ANGRY TEENAGERS. Smash and bash

[@GhettoWagon]

Jack Burton Failed promises!

[@preciadoalex123]

oh Hi

[@GhettoWagon]

Alex Preciado Your over here too tough guy? I just want to let you know I may look 19 but I am really 24 and I bench 478 lbs!

[@GhettoWagon]

Alex Preciado Yea, I am nowhere near that age anymore.

[@MrLostonej]

Clinton with fred and fanny may..more like it.

[@slimsammyone]

That's hilarious. Just before you mentioned Tremors I thought to myself I want to go watch Tremors. lol. Great minds think alike.

[@Brownale68]

you got me at the end there. .lol..but you didn't try to turn on the water in the bathroom. .....bad adam..lol..

[@Holobrine]

If there was suspense music for every time the camera adjusted to the darkness in one of the trailers, that would be one hell of a scary video!

[@alansierra91]

Awesome. You should do the abandoned Big Horn Mine next. It's about two hours from Los Angeles.

[@Anonymoose]

Pretty creepy! You've gotta wonder why people would walk off and abandon a whole, pretty expansive, complex like this. Looks like the vandals have had their share of fun with it.

[@jimsoutdooradventures2748]

Adam,, You are SCREWED up,,,LOL. Nice find, I'll take the old train car, it would make a nice storage shed.

[@MrLarryhoover425]

I'm suprised nobody's taken all that scrap metal!

[@corinth1121]

+Larry hoover scraps way down, amigo- mild steel gets you- nada, and so that leaves you too get copper, brass and aluminum, so just have to wait until war economy picks back up, did you know some war year nickles were made of silver?

[@Starchface]

+corinth1121 But who knows how many wars have come and gone while that place has rusted and decayed? I would have liked to see the labels on some of those packages in the cupboards. They might have clues such as expiration dates or something. I am curious about the history and the location of this site. Does it have a name?

[@flyingninja1234]

+corinth1121 I'd bet the copper is gone. In another video I saw someone tried to cut through wiring that was still live & that caused the room to catch fire.

[@Starchface]

Zod McStuffins We had some genius try to steal the wire from inside an electrical substation a few years ago. That put an end to his life of crime and his hopes of becoming an electrical engineer.

[@tijuanagringo]

Yeah December in the Mohave desert can be "a little bit chilly" :-0

[@bruceyboysvideos]

Should do a "fear and loathing in Las Vegas" locations one, when you said "between Barstow in Las Vegas" made me think of that lol

[@themovietheatre]

7:40 must had been an adult cinema.

[@grantw.whitwam9948]

+Mike Rivest Did you notice the extra pipe welded on so you couldn't squeeze through.

[@wdavem]

I wonder how long ago that place was active. SO wrecked! Perhaps a wallmart opened somewhere within a 1000 mile radius

[@jritter660]

Look's like you're having fun in the desert!

[@ColeWalker]

Awesome vid !! Somewhere in Ohio, i believe near the huge Trader's World flea market there is an old abandoned Ferris wheel up high on a mountain. You should definitely check it out sometime !!

[@cackleback2821]

It all looks as empty, as abandoned, and as useless as the inside of my ex husband's head.

[@LanternLooney]

Lol

[@MrLostonej]

you had a ex..

[@nicholascoope6863]

BendyBus Song Ouch! you really made him that way....?

[@skaluv]

If I had to guess that pay turn style was a shower. I know on the east coast a lot of truck stops have shower areas. Also, I am curious when this was abandoned. Due to the digital meters on the pump but the dilapidation I would guess early to mid last decade. Crazy!

[@EricFarmer01]

Soon the whole country will look like this.

[@discretecinema8451]

Adam next time you go on a zany journey I think you need to ask my mom... :D

[@scottreedman7121]

The alarm system is for the fuel tanks, also monitors how much they have left in the tanks, I'm guessing the scary room would be pay a quarter to use the toilet??

[@EliteWheatProdctionZ]

Ive actually driven past this place a few times on my way to barstow, crazy.

[@montiraruba2831]

Hahahaha!! I love the end part!!!! Scared the crap out of me!!!! Mirrors, I tell ya !!!!

[@williamburkhart2979]

Season 1 of Top Gear US had a race from LA to Vegas. Tanner Foust actually stops thinking it was an open gas station

[@trentreeve]

That is not the alarm system, it is the fuel monitor. Anyway cool video because of the two EAT signs. I would like to own those.

[@PhaQ2]

The urban decay is so sad and unexpected in such a youthful and vibrant country. These scenes are more akin to war-time. Great area to shoot zombie movie scenes.

[@GothicPrincezz]

You seriously scared me at the end. Lol

[@MudRFunR]

Great video, I just subscribed!

[@Parkerdraws2002]

U JUST REFERNCED MY FAVORITE MOVIE!(tremors)

[@lola2u]

Looks like something straight out of CSI. Wouldn't be surprised if a portions of this abandoned area was used in the show.

[@watershed44]

Judging by the original gas and food signs I would say the place opened for business in the late 70s or early 80s. It must have had a name.

[@grantw.whitwam9948]

+watershed44 I'll bet a few people lost there ass on that place. Must have been pretty nice in it's day.

[@curious5661]

Tremors? It's Graboids man! Walter Chang must be spinning in his gra.......graboid stomach.

[@Tipi83]

Sad to see places like that being abandoned.. :P

[@deeerin2]

I live in Vegas...I think I'll take a ride and check that place out! Cool vid!!

[@lifeisamatrix5960]

@adamthewoo one of my old buddies was wondering if you'd do the railroad trial in cloudcroft. The one part trail is still there above the 82 highway tunnel.

[@Munkylaw]

Fallout Adam Woo style.

[@carolehayden8566]

Looks like an old truck stop. All the amenities...Food...Gasoline...Rest and try to stand the desert. Thanks, Mr. Woo. I'd almost forgotten how much I dislike the area. Barren, dry, snakeskin and turquoise country. But, I love your videos and have for a very long time. Say "Hey" to the coyote company for me. See you next time.

[@blkt6]

That rail car would be perfect for my camp!

[@-Garviel_Loken-]

"We were outside of Barstow when the drugs tarted to take hold"

[@Mikestime22]

That place is a trip. Met the owner years ago. Someone lived in that Rv to watch the property. But I'm sure they were tweekers and burned their crap down. After that, the owner just pretty much left it. The other trailers were dumped there and idiots thrash them. The owner wanted to refurbish the restaurant, but permitting it was not worth the cost.

[@rissyrose]

I love the screw joke 😂

[@StivNagen]

Good one. Not as good as the abandoned Target in Atlanta though. That was your best.

[@Timesmanify]

If Las Vegas wasn't so enticing, i'd probably stop at one of these places.

[@coyfox3825]

you should check these places out!! Wet willy's water slide also Times beach ,and the closed down Vess soda plant all in Saint Louis Missouri.

[@LikaLaruku]

You ever noticed when you're traveling through the endless wastes of Nevada that when you see an abandoned train, it kinda looks like it's moving? I'd like to look inside those trains, but it's too fekkin hot to actually get out of the car. There's some nifty ghost town in Utah, if you travel off the paved roads. Cisco is a total wreck, but it's a sizable one. They released a new Tremors movie this year, but Kevin Bacon wasn't in it. How are these palm trees still alive?

[@slim1617]

That wasn't a alarm it the tank monitoring system for the gas tanks tells you when the tanks are low on fuel and if there's water in the tanks

[@mitchramey5052]

How do you keep the camera from shaking while you walk. When I've done videos in the past I couldn't use some footage because of how shaky it was. But I use a GoPro so its smaller than most cameras.

[@kevinenns2390]

Awesome vid dude!

[@mern2351]

Lol they really were "screwed"

[@TawnyHorton]

Thought I saw your Van at the abandoned water park near Barstow a week ago. Have you been there yet?! Its definitely got woo all over it!

[@adamthewoo]

+Tawny Horton I have a year or so ago

[@corinth1121]

YES! ME LOVE THIS! the coke machine all broken, like a field of dreams beckons us all, MR WOO!, nice job with the camera work, picking the site, the snarky remarks, yada, yada, that's more like it, pls let MRS WOO film you doing stuff, if you have her in next abandoned video... THIS VIDEO CAN MAKE U>S>A GR8 again, lets rebuild the carcass, for the highway cars and trucks, let's dream and do, over the rainbow bridge, partners!

[@adamthewoo]

+corinth1121 thanks for watching and the comment corinth

[@corinth1121]

+jesse sanders there's plenty of open space . and creative people like Atw who do really cool. and sometimes amazing things. so open your mindset. and create your best potentially. ...

[@JoshTechgamer]

man you got some hits great keep it up

[@WesternStarproductions]

cool place ! thanks for the four

[@brianthefloridian6254]

It actually does like a film shooting site for that movie, "Tremors"!! All we need is Kevin Bacon & Reba McIntyre to show up!

[@gregaustin1000]

Dude ADAM....thank you so much for this video..my wife and I just visited this same place on the way back from vegas in oct..we went into the restaurant but didn't venture any further...but again, thank you..btw go check out the abandoned mental asylum in Downey Californin..that would be a great video from you

[@Redn3ckRage]

@adamthewoo the art @ 8:50 how can i legally cut it out of the building and take it?

[@linkdbacks0775]

Hey Adam I passed that abandoned place before.

[@karenhargis9824]

I lived in Barstow way back in the early '90's.....

[@rmann664]

that thing you thought was the alarm is actually the gas pump daily read out so they know how much gas to order and junk..

[@henrys3629]

123,846th! Railroad box car is cool. "It belongs in a museum."

[@silkysays3557]

it was a booming place once....creepy now. Huggs,silky

[@elizabethbeshears1728]

I live in Yuma I could take you to tons of these abandoned mini towns here in the desert

[@Iaredantastic]

Where did that spinning gate lead?

[@RemedyTalon]

The first trailer looks like Bud's trailer from Kill Bill vol. 2

[@Brad772006]

+Evil GST Hahaha, I was going to say the exact same thing. Those wood panel walls. All I could think of was the scene in Kill BIll Vol 2

[@thomasmckendry8566]

More like buds trailer from Urban Cowboy

[@anajay78]

That RV looks totally fixable.

[@fritzmusic]

Halloran Springs exit 259 and 265 on I-15. On Google Sat images, the house with the 3 fuels tanks attached looks to have been occupied on imagery on 3/22/2013. Whatever went down there since with the burned down trailer house and travel home, it looks pretty sketchy. Anyone knows what the turnstile in the main building was for? Guessing charging for bathrooms/showers?

[@demoisthe1st832]

that's not a security system that's the thing that tells how much fuel is in each one of the tanks
