My HOME town. My mom still lives there & Vaughn WILL ALWAYS be home for me. You even showed her home a couple of times. Truly enjoy when I am home & doing NOTHING but visiting with my mom.
drove through here by chance on a trip from Salt Lake to Austin TX and I was blown away by what I was seeing as I drove through the main drag - abandoned gas stations, diners, motels with a 50's motif- absolutely mesmerizing. I regret not cruising through the streets like you are. I would love to hear from the long time residents about their town. So many questions- like, I see people putting out their garbage bins; who comes to collect their trash? where does it go? Is trash collecting for 50 houses a part time job or volunteer deal? How does a town like this still operate?
Hi, thank you for sharing are town. I lived there and played all sports. My name is Diane storey Kemp. I love going back home a lot of great memories.❤❤
at 9:50 the building you were looking at used to be a movie house way back in the day. like until the 50s/60s. The building you immediately turned by was a bar and brothel until like the 1920s. There is some art painted inside that was painted by a vagrant who, is now only known as the vagabond artist, would paint murals in order to pay for room and board. there's a lot of history to Vaughn. The People Store was still operational in the 90s when I was a kid. It was like going back in time. It was trippy. I used to go with my grandma where she'd get a pound of bologna deli sliced and I would get an ice cream cone for $0.50. I could go on, but this comment has already gotten to long.
My grand parents lived there in the mid 70s. Across from railroad tracks. The first house you show resembles the house, But it may be a pile of ruble by now. Good footage
I grew up there in Vaughn. I still have a lot of family there. I haven't been there in 3 years. The town has a lot of history from the Harvey House to people that went missing from the Vaughn hotel. Vaughn is the center of where roads Hwy 60, Hwy 54 and Hwy 70 meet. I have fond memories of growing up there in the 70's and 80's.
Thank you for the video. I greatly enjoyed it ! Most of these New Mexico towns are very friendly. I have been through Vaughn but it has been awhile back so nice to see it again! I live in a small town in Southern New Mexico which is also friendly
My father-in-law was station master for Santa Fe Railway. My mother-in-law was a former Harvey girl. I have so many wonderful memories there, and there are a lot of nice people. It had a lot of abandoned buildings in the 70’s too. It did look drier than I’ve ever seen it. My in laws kept their land so nice. They had a garden, and another old house on the land. It was my and my husband’s honeymoon cottage. The sound of the trains coming always are pleasant memories to me. I can still see my father-in-law checking the times, even away from the station.
I grew up in Vaughn. Thank you for this video. I wish you would have filmed the public school though, It’s in great shape. I passed through Vaughn in June 2022. 💙😇🙏🏻✝️👍🏼
Such a cool town. Some of those buildings would be really cool to photograph. Who knows, in 20 years it might be a complete ghost town which makes it even more interesting. You guys have captured a snapshot in time with this video.
I used to come thru Vaugh, Anthony etc. on 285 when I would drive to visit my folks in Louisiana. .... I lived in ABQ/Santa Fe, NM so I would take I-40 to 285 to pick up I-10.... this route cuts and hour or two off the trip home..... alot of good memories.. nice people in those towns.. I never really focused on "poverty"... alot of folks in NM used to tell me during the Great Depression they didn't know they were poor, they grew food, had animals etc. it took white folks from Washington DC to tell them they were poor, the were at peace, living life, enjoying their family. In NM the folks still have a culture, strong family bonds... While I know in the west "money" is god, its everything... but alot of the he natives and Hispanics I met along the way didn't worship the dollar....
Thanks for showing this small ghost town out west in New Mexico, the brown grass and dusty roads. The tumbleweed was back in Colorado. You are right. It's a slower pace of life. The dry air preserved things.
Most in the small towns of NM work on ranches. So you won't see factories out there. As a patrol officer, if the one officer on duty in Santa Rosa called in sick, I had to drive from Tucumcari, NM, to handle any call there.
Lot of small towns like this in New Mexico. Like a lot of places in the southwest these were farming and ranching towns until the governor decided to shut them down.
Thanks so much for sharing this, I live in Northern New Mexico and I have been to this ghost town I never had the opportunity to film there but I would love to sometime I did get a couple of photos
When you say Vaughn, Texas and get corrected and then say close enough... NO, Vaughn is not "close enough" to Texas, its easily 3-1/2 to 4 hours away from Texas.
Another great video you doing Jose great job is it possible for you to go to area 51 North of Vegas I would love to see that area also is it possible for you to go to death valley in California I would love to see death valley very interesting places Palm springs would be nice to see of course Hollywood and Southern California is a beautiful place nice place for you to see and TH-cam
What's the car at 12:50. I guessed Oldsmobile Delta early 1980s but not definitely sure. I don't think it's abandoned coz it would be dusty and tyres would be down surely?
there's places like this out there in the middle of nowhere, if you are a trucker or something it might be ideal i guess something super cheap to park your truck and rest your head, but thats the problem there is nothing there to speak of as far as commerce.
or maybe you are older and on SS, and a some change to buy a cheap place paid off and live cheaply, that kind of thing, it looks rough though, I can see people would escape this town if they didn't have a car, just train hop on out of there on that train.

Hello family and friends of Vaughn! I see my family homes and friends homes! All just as wonderful as it was in the beginning! Isaac Rubio
My grand parents lived there in the mid 70s. Across from railroad tracks. The first house you show resembles the house, But it may be a pile of ruble by now. Good footage

My family is from there. My grandfather helped build the train tracks.

Vaughn is far from being a ghost town.there is still a lot of people living there.Very quaint and beautiful town.

It’s always windy there. A. Cam day is a day to celebrate.
Place seams uninhabitable

Wow
I love seeing these little towns. Even the "abandoned" places have a few people around. Nice idea if you want to lay low somewhere.
Just plain cool!!!! 😎
This reminds me of one of those towns where if your in business with the cartel know that your probably NOT MAKING IT BACK HOME!!!
with a good water well and new solar roof those old towns would appeal to many.
I watched some other videos of here and some of those cars have been sitting for 10+ years

Not abandoning people still live there
You not was therw
When you say Vaughn, Texas and get corrected and then say close enough... NO, Vaughn is not "close enough" to Texas, its easily 3-1/2 to 4 hours away from Texas.
Here in Massachusetts, some people would pay darn good money for any one of those rust free cars and even pay the cost to have them shipped here.

Loving your route seems as you might pass through Artesia NM?
In TX already
too much noise for me on mic..... vaughn nm is not close enough to texas like over 100 miles adio
What's the car at 12:50. I guessed Oldsmobile Delta early 1980s but not definitely sure. I don't think it's abandoned coz it would be dusty and tyres would be down surely?
Man thats cool rides
Wind noise doesn't bother me bro. Video more than makes up for it.
Some places having 45mph winds today out there
Looks a lot like my hometown Lamesa Tx
1978 Delta 88 Royale
👍👍 I guessed 1980 but rear window didnt match. I don't think it's abandoned coz it would be dusty and tyres would be flat.
there's places like this out there in the middle of nowhere, if you are a trucker or something it might be ideal i guess something super cheap to park your truck and rest your head, but thats the problem there is nothing there to speak of as far as commerce.

The places you all visit actually seem so nice but like people gave up. I wonder how much of this has to do with things like lead and asbestos?
No connection whatsoever.
I'm from long Island NY I've never seen anything like that like an old movie. People really live there wow...
I encourage you to do some research about the subject you present. At least stop to talk to someone. Stories and histories will astound you!
Wow..thanks for sharing many of us cant travel but this is cool.
Vaughn Texas huh
Middle of nowhere
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS just a shit stain on the map 🗺️
