"SiT 2 FaDE И DECaY" Originally named Canyon Padre Trading Post when it was built in the late 1940’s off the historic Route 66. It was renamed Twin Arrows in 1957 to pay homage to next stop, 2 Guns. 1 of 2000 famous Valentine Diners is located here, it’s badly damaged, but came ready to use when delivered & was created by Arthur Valentine out of Wichita, Kansas. Twins Arrows was owned by the Troxell Family from 1955 to 1985. When the I-40 was built in the 1970’s the “Best Little Shop on I-40” saw a decline. Twin Arrows closed in 1990 & reopened in 1995 but closed forever shortly after. Now this once popular stop sits in utter decay, slowing returning back into the ground. My UrbEx crew & I have revisited this place numerous times in past 15 years watching its steady decline & documenting its decay. #twinarrows #valentinediner #route66 #getyourkicksonroute66 #instagramaz #instaaz #DPGC_UrbanDecay #DPGC_UrbanDecay #instagramaz #urbex_kings #rsa_preciousjunk #urbex_utopia #urbex_supreme #urbexchampions #urbexartist #urbxtreme #world_wide_urbex #global_urbex #abandonedcentral #renegade_abandoned #kings_abandoned #theurbexchallenge #ig_urbex #glitz_n_grime #abandoned_wanderlust_tour #all_is_abandoned #abandoned_addiction #raw_abandoned #abandonedplaces #urbanexploring #urbanexplorer (at Twin Arrows Trading Post) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbwuumPg1v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Cornering the Past" I was here about 12 years ago & I've definitely noticed these walls are slowly returning back into the earth. I am sure I the next 100 years these walls will just be rock piles. This place is so amazing, such a rich history. #CanyonDiablo the roughest, toughest town in #NorthernArizona. So #dangerous the #Army was called in to #police the town. Not much is left, but #rockwalls, old cans & #reminence of town that was too tough to die, but eventually did once the railroad was built. #DPGC_UrbanDecay #instagramaz #abandoned #abandonedaz #abandonedarizona #anonymousbando__ #abandoned_excellence #rsa_preciousjunk_ #decay_of_the_lower48 #kings_abandoned #myrustyfix #photo_hitchhiker #quiet_afterlife #raw_abandoned #savethedecay #total_abandoned #history #onlyurbexpost #urbaninterzone #the_urbex_institute #world_wide_urban (at Canyon Diablo, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQMTslJYIc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Romeo & Juliet" #Mausoleums & family #crypts graciously accept brick, mortar, & steel to enclose lifeless shells for the rest of eternity. Protecting them from the ruthlessness of mother nature, the war of time, & the cruelty of desecrators. St. Luis 1 is the oldest cemetery in Luisiana & is by far the most famous. It's survived over 225 years since its inception in 1789. Not even Hurricane Katrina could wash away the mark this cemetery has made over the centuries. Each grave has withstood the odds, some made it through in better shape as others lay nameless, scattered, & lost in time. The unique gothic marble & iron decay speaks to those who listen as the cool salted New Orleans breeze buzz throughout St. Luis 1's narrow walkways. With wanderlust, I lost myself through these towering shrines that give praise to those who have passed so long ago. They all speak the same message... "I existed & I was loved".

"MoM" I wonder how this sign looked new? It's barely holding together now & it beautifully stands the test of time, as I am sure those who put it there are no longer here. It's funny to find beauty in Death, since it's something we all fear. #Mausoleums & family #crypts graciously accept brick, mortar, & steel to enclose lifeless shells for the rest of eternity.

"What's Left of Twin Arrows" Originally named Canyon Padre Trading Post when it was built in the late 1940’s off the historic Route 66. It was renamed Twin Arrows in 1957 to pay homage to next stop, 2 Guns. 1 of 2000 famous Valentine Diners is located here, it’s badly damaged, but came ready to use when delivered & was created by Arthur Valentine out of Wichita, Kansas. Twins Arrows was owned by the Troxell Family from 1955 to 1985. When the I-40 was built in the 1970’s the “Best Little Shop on I-40” saw a decline.

"Post Passion" At the time Michelangelo created his flawless and 2nd most famous sculpture "Pietà" he was only 24 years old. It took him less than 2 years from 1498-1499 to complete it. He was commissioned by French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères to create Pietà for his funeral monument. Michelangelo's Pietà had a few homes over the centuries & now resides behind bulletproof glass in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, after 1972 when crazed geologist took a hammer to it knocking off Mary's nose, eyebrow, & her left arm. This is the only piece of work that Michelangelo ever signed. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #jesuschrist #worldtraveler #Bnw #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #pieta #pietà #michelangelo #vaticancity #stpetersbasilica #vatican #sculpture #jesus #madonna #church #virginmary #rome #catholic #catholicism (at Vatican City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4E323SFYC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"4ever Grounded Pt5" There is something about an plane graveyard, so much freedom that was taken away, so many stories of the passengers & no log for me to read. I want to know the story of this cabin. #DPGC_UrbanDecay #instagramaz #abandoned #abandonedaz #abandonedarizona #flight #anonymousbando__ #abandoned_excellence #backroad_visions #airplanegraveyard #airplane #everything_transport #kings_abandoned #myrustyfix #photo_hitchhiker #quiet_afterlife #raw_abandoned #rural_houses #ruralexposures #savethedecay #trb_rural #theurbexghosthunter #total_abandoned #urbexqg #onlyurbexpost #urbaninterzone #the_urbex_institute #the_mirror_of_our_souls #weownthenight_az #world_wide_urbex https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnXOKrpjHA/?igshid=mq6pom45484i

"Overworked pt2" This place is sacred to me, like my better half. Like a song playing @ the exact right time. My inspiration was planted here as a tiny seed & the adventure grew into an uncontrollable need to explore the world. I lust to to learn about the past and document the beauty it holds in the form of decay & forgotten places. Del Pasco was 1 of the 1st ghost towns I ever visited. I was captivated by things I found here in 2010. Del Pasco is located high in the Bradshaw Mountains & was discovered on July 4, 1870. It was one of the riches gold mines in the world @ it's time. You will also find an abandoned 1956 School Bus, with 60's style wallflowers painted across the outside. It was talked about that this place might have been home to a hippie commune back in the 60's. There is also an old truck & mining equipment still there. 1 of the most complete wooden miners shack use to be found here with hay mattresses, iron tub & full kitchen. Sadly in 2012, the Gladiator Fire destroyed most of what was left. This bus, truck, & mining equipment is the only thing left now. I've been to Del Pasco numerous times before & after the fire, it's still a great find with lots of history. #DPGC_UrbanDecay #delpasco #instaaz #instgramaz #urbandecay #filthyfeeds #rsa_preciousjunk #UrbEx_supreme #partnersingrime #trailblazers_rurex #grime_lords #nexus_army #abandonedearth #worldcaptures #jj_urbex #unitedstatesofdecay #worldtraveler #canon_official #abandoned #ig_captures_decay #jj_delightfully_deteriorating #Grime_Nation #tour_through_desolation #rusted #inrustwetrust #rottenfeed #aband0n_all_h0pe #kings_abandoned #arizona #truckporn (at Bradshaw Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMWMasJEjy/?igshid=1aeq6fj8o3iqd
