Yes, it's pretty rugged. It was a farm truck.

We have lots of cars in this area. When people had a junk car, they rolled it out into the woods. My Dad is a construction worker, and has dug up whole cars before with his bulldozer.

Status: offline 		Leet,

yep..same here. Live deep in the woods, car/farm equipment/fridge/washing machine etc dies....put it up in the bush and let it sit.

at our hunting camp (used to be grandma's farm) there's a small lumber road that's pretty tight to drive. On the left side of the "road" as you start going, there's a house cut in half. It's like someone literally took a saw and just sliced 1/2 of it off. It butts right up to the edge of the road (there's a 3' bank on the side of the road). You can see the rocks and brickes used to level it under the flooring, kitchen table still there, cups,plates etc... there used to be an old 33 ford in there, but someone hauled it out years ago.....I'm going digging and MD'ing that place next time we're up there....imagine the stuff to be found just snooping in the cupboards...

tried to see if i could see it from Google maps to get a pic, but no go...will have to get some when i get back up there.

My bro in law and myself decided this past year to clean the farm up. it's huge and there's so much crap out there...(i don't mind the 4000 dumps or privy sites though). So he and i just casually started hauling scrap stuff down or out to the bush roads on the property. Father in law got the hint and we cleared out almost all of it.

Now I just need to find a glass recycler. I'd be fat rich. Daughter and I have pulled thousands of brown glass beer bottles and we're not even 1/8 into all the dumps/privy sites/foundations of old farm buildings etc... figure the farm has been there since the mid 1800's. and all they did was sit around the fire and drink.

Status: offline 		Well, while most might think searching the seats might be a joke, I once found a Buick 225 that was loaded. The owner mustve been a waitress or something. By the time Id cleaned it all out I had over $22.00 worth of change. unfortunately there wasnt any silver, but all that clad was a nice find. Not to mention jacking the 4bbl quadra-jet, the radiator, and a few other things I made $ off.

Fortune favors the guy willing to look!.

Status: offline 		My daughter almost made me shed a tear when we were hauling that stuff out...we're hooking a truck up to the tractor to jank it out of the woods and daughter tells grandpa to wait a minute, goes inside the truck, comes out a few mins later..she was grubbing for change.....

I did the same thing when father in law wanted me to take pics to sell his 66 tbird. just some clad and some S&H Green Stamps..

Just never know what youll stumble onto. As long as I dont open a trunk and find some dead homeless guy.

He had been there for 5 days before we found him.
Kind of disturbing to see someone so desperate to take their own life.

Status: offline 		A buddy and I stumbled on a Ford Probe in the woods which looked as if it had just been abandoned that week, with branches and brush covering it for camouflage. Well, I smashed the window, unlocked it, and we snooped around. My buddy didn't find anything good as it was pretty well cleaned out, but I ripped up some stuff under the driver's seat and found a 14K gold bracelet! Also found a silver bracelet, some change, and a DMX CD 

I also took the "Ford Probe" decal, due to the humorous nature of the name of the car.

Think I sold the gold for 85 bucks when I needed some fast cash. Shoulda held onto it because even now gold is way higher than it was when I sold it. Ah well.

Status: offline 		dang woody, that would be a slight shock to say the least. friend of mine was in the Air Force Pararescue. He said the weirdest thing he'd seen was two naked guys hugging each other frozen solid with a small tree between them. Said they'd gotten lost and disoriented, hypothermia (shed their clothing because they felt so hot) and were sitting up frozen solid like that. That would be a bit haunting.

Nothing says free like stealing..............better than stealing alone, you get destroy someones property to boot.

Stealing and destroying other peoples stuff, that's the life not for me.

"just been abandonded that week"........"smashed the window and unlocked it"

That last sentence pretty much says it all.
