John’s Modern Cabins – 2008

On the trip back from Illinois, we made a stop at John’s Modern Cabins in Missouri. Route 66 goes right past this old place and I-44 used to as well before they moved it a few years ago. John’s has been abandoned for years and the buildings have been slowly falling apart, but that momentum seems to have picked up.

Last time we came through, this original cabin was still standing.

As was this newer model

I braved the poison ivy to snap a shot in back of and then inside one of the cabins.

I’m amazed that thse cabins were built on small stacks of cinderblock!

I couldn’t get this refrigerator open. That’s probably a good thing.
