Day 1 (Saturday) - Austin to Mineral Wells


Here's the more or less planned route for the entire trip. We used this Abandoned Places Road Trip for inspiration (that website has a lot of other cool TX road trips) - We Dare You To Take This Road Trip To Texas’ Most Abandoned Places






First Stop - Mosheim, TX

There's not much of anything in Moshiem, except this old, abandoned, and disintegrating school house.








Mineral Wells - The Laumdronat

This is a laundromat with a name that is an incredibly difficult spelling of the word "laundromat". And it has a washing machine museum in it, along with a bunch of other assorted junk.






Mineral Wells - Mineral Wells High School

Right next door to the famed Laumdronat is the old high school building. It's old, it's abandoned, and it looks a little creepy.






Mineral Wells - The Baker Hotel

By Mineral Wells standards this is a huge hotel. At least you can see it from pretty much anywhere in town. It looks pretty sketchy, and what's up with that huge vent pipe - what were they doing in the incinerator?









Mineral Wells - Nazareth Hospital

While checking out the current location to get the Crazy Water we saw this old structure, so we wandered over. Yep, old and abandoned. An old abandoned religious hospital? Definitely creepy.




Ichiban Asian Fusion

Sushi in Mineral Wells? In what used to be a KFC? Sure, why not!
The food was just OK, but this sign in the bathroom was special and thought provoking.



Cabin at the Coffee Creek RV Resort

We stayed at this cute little cabin in the middle of an RV park. It was perfect for us, and Lexi said that it was the most comfortable pull-out couch that she has ever slept on.
