Ever walk around a bush and said how did this get here?

Someone chipped into the rock 1915 along with something I could not decipher. At the top of the Panimint Mtns. overlooking Death Valley.

Wickiup Rings, Eastern Sierra's Calif near Bishop. There were about 20 in this area. Mortar holes overlooking them.

Found some paintings in a hollow a short distance away, down underneath a seasonal waterfall as told by the water lines.

I once found the back half of a VW beetle. It took me a while but I carried it about 3 miles back to my pickup and gave it to my mother in law for yard art.

Hmmmmmm that hammer is definitely not 1915 model.... Yes I have found some things in my youth that I asked where the dickens did that come from. Now that I'm old and senile I find them everywhere,, every day :-)

Two things here I want to mention. Look at the surroundings of the log cabin. Where the dickens did they get the trees to build it. Second thing, That old Chevrolet would make a good Vegas rat rod, it's salvageable by their standards. That frame is pristine ! If nothing else it would make good yard art ! LOL

Even if you get out of the canyon the closest trees are no to be found.. This place is about 80 miles North of Moab.
