It’s crazy talk because I do not need another project but curiosity is killing me.
It sits 600ft off a highway with a gravel road leading to it.
Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend! I have done similar to go and look in Firefly wrecks.

I'd love to help, even if it's remotely. This is the kind of stuff the Internet was made for. Discovering your childhood "tank in the woods" and hopefully recovering it. We could even get a Hallmark movie out of this.

I sure miss those adventures Rob & I would go on in search of carriers in the bush!
I didn’t even own a carrier at the time but just as excited to find those rusty parts just lying there!
Great times.
Now I’m married and domesticated!

That was the first step I took when I got one of mine...
