Just a chilly little venture on a chilly little Saturday morning.

Anybody remember Marathon Petroleum Company? This particular location has been closed down for quite a while.

I remember when this place was still going. Used to buy a Star Crunch there every day after school.

This was a great omen.

I was shocked to find its outdoor bathroom completely unlocked.

And, to finish it off, the obligatory...

Thanks for reading! Feedback is always welcome.

I don't blame them for leaving the mavericks behind.

very cool set, and yes its not odd that those mavs are still there.

Great set, Johnny-Cakes!
Hey man, do you always explore in a dinner jacket, silver tie and a woman's plantation hat?

Nothing suits me like a suit, your Radicalness. And that's my Panama hat! I got it as a gift from an old friend on my first archaeological dig.

Oh, that's a Panama hat? My bad, bro. I meant no offense.
Hey, did you know Panama hats originated from Ecuador? Back in the early 1800's, Panama was the first stop in the hat's exportation to foreign lands and since that was the place most of them were first purchased, they became Panama hats. It's actually an Ecuador hat!

Cool shit, man! I'll wear it with all of my Ecuadorian pride. ¡Los que odian van a odiar!

Los que odian puede soplar arena de sus orificios.

Awesome set bro! I'd love to find an abandoned gas station/convenience store someday. I'm surprised that big sign is still there

Me too, my man. And thanks for the recognition, Fluffy!

Yo creo que mi cerveza está vacía. Tiempo para otra.

I'm really digging that old Marathon sign; it's in incredible condition (even despite the cracks), for being outdoors. Friends of mine have one that hasn't survived nearly as well, though being in one piece.

I never take anything from my explorations because, well, firstly, it's wrong, and because I like to leave things for other people to see, but also slightly because I'm afraid that if I were a worse person and started taking things, I'd never stop, and then I'd wonder how I ended up with so much shit. "Oh, look at this...cool...thing I got from...that place (which I can't remember). Isn't it...cool?"

Bebe hasta no hay nada más a beber. Entonces, bebe más.

I'm shocked, too! Its been out there for nine years!

As for souvenirs, I take nothing. I learned that when I first started diving. If everybody lucked something from a wreck, there'd be no wreck left before too long.

What's Slenderman doing exploring?

Nice set man. I shot one with a friend once when I was in Tulsa. They are kind of kool.

Cool shit, man! Glad to have shared something like this with someone somewhere else.
