    Any places that were unnerving for you to stay for the night.
    For me port Arthur we were to late to the shipper stayed outside the plant it smelled of rotten oil the ditches were full of dead animals it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Not a comfortable feeling knowing no one's around for 50 miles.

    Creepy Cuervo.

    Cuervo , NM.

    I don't subscribe to ghosty stuff . . . BUT !

    Stopped for a nap late at night. Tapping and knocking on cab woke me up. Not trees or anything. Lit out of there pretty quick.

    Its an old steam train stop town. I 40 cut it in half. Town died slowly. Lots of old abandoned houses, church etc.

    I delivered a load of armoured vehicle plating to Textron in Slidell, LA. The receiver was down some country back road with a lot of lower income homes scattered amongst bits of forest and foliage. I don't recall any lighting in this particular area, and the facility was locked and guarded after hours. The guard wouldn't let me park on the property or the street directly in front of the building, so I ended up staying on the street about a half mile up the road. I remember sleeping in close proximity to a hammer and keeping one eye open that night.
