All that remains is the concrete pads and pole foundations. Be careful if you think you want to drive into it as there are unmarked trenches cut across the entry road at both ends.

VR Panorama of John's Modern Cabins. There is only one cabin left that hasn't started to collapse. One good thing about the interstate being moved is that it is a lot easier to get there now as there is access from the the prior south frontage road that leads to Arlington. ('07) |

VR Panorama of the Britten USA Truck Stop (now closed) parking area. The brush is so thick it would be very difficult to get any closer to the leaning water tower. ('07) |

VR Panorama from the shade of a tree in a low spot on the cutoff. The road is starting to get rough the further south you go here. I made it in my old Mustang but I would recommend that a higher clearance vehicle be used unless you are used to driving this type of roadbed. ('07) |
