Today I stumbled upon this old abandoned Citgo gas station on LA-121 just before intersects Highway 28 near Leesville. The sight is so overgrown that at first all I spotted were a few abandoned cars. I didn't even know that there was a gas station back in the trees until I walked up and got a closer look at it. From the look of things I would guess that this location had been abandoned since the 70s or 80s at least that is the vintage of the vehicles I found in the tree line.
There were actually several cars and trucks on the property but I didn't get a good look at them because of the rather prominent 'No Trespassing' sign nailed to a tree just to the right of the remains of one of the cars. I really wanted to ignore that sign but I ultimately decided to honor it because this is Louisiana and people tend to be a bit protective of their land and odds are the owner owns at least one gun.
I wish that I could provide some sort of backstory on this location but it has been long forgotten.
