I was just there this morning. It is very eerie just being in the town (town? remains of a town) but more so walking the closed part of 61. Several times when I&#39;d get to shaded parts, I&#39;d put the back of my hand on the asphalt- it was NOT cold!<br /> The Fire truck and ambulance are still in the minicipal building but the building itself is starting to fall into a state of disrepair.<br /

I liked your article! I new about Centrailia for a while. We just made a trip there 7/21/10. We did not get to look around for too long and I&#39;m wondering how far down old Rt61 goes and if there are more buckles in it.

Nice blog - I&#39;m from NH, too, and just visited Centralia yesterday. Granted there&#39;s not much to see, but as you said, saying you&#39;ve been there is pretty cool in and of itself.
