Ye olde car dump - 2/9/2011 7:39:26 PM    Ratzilla   Posts: 422 Joined: 4/29/2009 From: Mullica Hill NJ Status: offline I was looking at another post with a rusty old car and it brought back some memories. This was a few years back, I was still in high school, scouting around for interesting dumping one day when I spotted a rusty car in the distance...

RE: Ye olde car dump - 2/9/2011 7:44:59 PM    Ratzilla   Posts: 422 Joined: 4/29/2009 From: Mullica Hill NJ Status: offline I forgot about bottles (briefly) and started checking out the old cars - some of them were amazingly well preserved for just sitting in the deep woods for decades. I'm not sure what the sedan is, the car with the door open in front was a woody wagon of some sort with the wood rotted away.

RE: Ye olde car dump - 2/9/2011 8:08:19 PM    Ratzilla   Posts: 422 Joined: 4/29/2009 From: Mullica Hill NJ Status: offline There were lots of other cars I never photo'd, I remember the newest were very early 60's. Of course, there was no way to actually haul any of the suckers out of there, except in peices, several had trees growing through them. I contented myself with removing every easily extractable emblem and name badge, along with some 1950's license plates. I made several trips back until all the badges were gone and all the trunks and glove compartments investigated, alas, no more bottles. About 10 years later I went back for old times sake...and everything was gone! - the cars, the trees, the whole damn patch of woods had been turned into a big housing development. Where did all those cars go? At least I still have that box of badges... _____________________________ Always looking for Camden, NJ bottles! (in reply to Ratzilla) Post #: 16
