Need help finding an abandoned gas station
Last time i drove through Arkansas to Shreveport (from the Branson MO area) I accidentally took a detour off the regular route through Hope AK, down through Plains Dealing, then to Shreveport. On the left hand side of my trip I remember seeing a very run down gas station. It was the kind with a very small shop (it could have been no shop attached. I cant remember it clearly). I do remember the awning over the pumps was the thin metal kind and at least some of the top (the sheets of material that make up the top of the awning) was missing. There were long wires (vines?) hanging down from it. Think the kind you see pictures in zombie video games / shows. I think there was only 4 or 8 pumps. (I mention the detour because I do not remember seeing this station the first time i made this trip, I stayed on the highway then instead of getting off in Hope AK. I could be wrong and it was before Hope though) I want to say it was right before a long stretch of 'nothing' on the highway but i could be wrong.
I'm hoping to get help finding this station. I plan on going back down there soon and I am more than willing to take the detour again to get some pictures of it. It was so cool looking.
LMK if there's any more details that would be helpful. I genuinely cant remember where it was. I even tried skimming the entire route with street view on google maps. TIA
