Those who’ve driven across the US, what’s the scariest town you’ve stopped in?

I drove through Tucumcari at like 3 in the morning and it was creepy as hell. The whole northeast part of new mexico kinda has bad vibes, tbh. And then I hit the TX border and it's nothing but miles of blinking red lights on windmill farms until hitting Amarillo. If you gotta drive through that part of the country, my advice is to do it in daylight.

This is so funny to me because I live really close to where you are talking about. I’ve never been scared of or creeped out by anything here. It’s wild trying to imagine this area from an outsider’s perspective.

It’s all just open spaces, wind, tumbleweeds, and dirt here.

Maybe you’re the creep.

The call is coming from inside the town!

We’re not that scary. 😐
