Reminds me of something I ran into a few years ago. I was out trout fishing in an area that I had never been to before. After walking up the stream and fishing for a few hours, I decided that it was time to go. Since I knew where the road should be, I figured it would be faster to just find the road and walk it back instead of backtracking and fighting the underbrush. I was getting pretty close to the road, when I saw something among the trees, so I headed that way for a closer look. What I found, was a quanset-hut type metal building, probably 20x30. Completely surrounded by trees that had grown up around it. Had doors that were chained shut, and a couple of small windows. The windows were broken out, so I went over and peeked in.
Right below me, was a Studebaker Silver Hawk, in the 1956-1962 range. It was complete, and looked like it was in relatively good condition considering that the tires had sunk into the ground so far that the car was now resting on the ground. You could see that some animals had gotten into the interior and had torn it up, but everything was there. The inspection sticker showed that it was last inspected in 1965.
I tried to find out who owned the land for several years, but was never able to get anywhere. I traced it through several owners up to when it was bought by some corporation. I was never able to find out anything about the corporation, except that it had gone out of business sometime in the 80's. All of the prevoius owners were gone, with no locatable kinfolk.
So anyway, I go fishing there at least once every summer, and I stop in to take a look at that old bird. It's kind of gotten to be like visiting an old friend, and I hope that it's always there when I go back. Course, it'll probably be there long after I'm gone.
Just in case there are any skeptics, I took a picture of it the next time I went back.
