Weird Stuff In Meadow Lake, New Mexico

Abandoned camper, the kind that sits in the back of a pickup truck. It sits on the ground now.

Past It's Prime

I'm not sure that Meadow Lake ever really had a "prime". It's a weird place that boasts neither a meadow nor a lake. To be fair, there was once a man-made lake that someone must have gone through a lot of trouble to build for the five people who lived there. It is closed now and barricaded behind a razor wire topped chain link fence. I grew up in this area and don't recall it ever being open. 

Abandoned Building On Meadow Lake Road

It's hard to tell what this building used to be, the inside doesn't look like a house. The land is for sale if anyone wants to use it for something else.

The Little White Church

Whenever I tell someone that I live out near Meadow Lake, they always ask "is it past the Little White Church?" This building is the iconic landmark of the Meadow Lake area. 

​For the record, it's not abandoned, but I'm sure they get asked that all the time.

Abandoned Gravel Pit on Meadow Lake Road

This gravel pit was operational when I was a kid. It is located about half way up the big hill (there's only one). There is a derelict mobile home park at the bottom of the hill. The park is inhabited but no one is paying their neighborhood association fees. Anyway, when I was a kid, the mobile home park was in a more respectable condition and then one day a truck loaded with gravel was coming down the hill and lost control at the curve. It tumbled a few times causing one of the axels to fly off and by god if it didn't cut one of those mobile homes clean in two! 

​Since then they put up a guard rail.

And Then There's This

Just one of many curious structures that had electricity.
