Weird, cool stuff you found in the woods.

Looks like a cool place to go for a bike ride

 

If you go to Fort Stevens in Astoria, Oregon, you can find a bunch of random bunkers that aren't marked on the guide map. Just prepare for a hike through brush and chest deep grass!

Went out to Valsetz Oregon one time. It used to be a town of about 1000 people - had a post office, roads, everything. Now it's a concrete slab. If you look at the wikipedia picture, you can see the slab.

If you go out on the ATV trails in Marysville, UT, there are some pretty cool old mining equipment to climb around on

 

Thank you for that!

I saw a ton of these when I was in South Korea and I never knew what they were

 

X2!

 

One time I was on a tiny island out in the yellow sea and saw this half way sunken boat



Im gonna have to bust out my external HD at home and get the rest of my pics on here

 

we found a stolen ford submarine on a NETW run

 

was it Gilligan's island?

 

After a 13-mile hike, which is almost a 1 mile vertical change down from the South Rim of the Grand Cannon, I didn't expect to find a suspension bridge over the river.

 

The missile silos people go into are typically old "Atlas F" or "Titan II" silos. When I lived in KS we visited quite a few of them utilizing google, a gps, and a Cessna 172 to find the ones that were far enough from homes that we wouldn't get in trouble. Many had locks on them. The ones we got into obviously went down 40-50 ft, some large blast doors, foundations built on springs, and large silos mostly flooded from ground water holes drilled in the wall prior to abandoning. I've got tons of photos, but they're all at home, neat stuff.

 

I do a bit of hiking and find some interesting stuff while in the mountains here in washington. Were usually looking for this stuff and go off the trails often to search.

These first pics are of a hike to lake Isabel. Not a very traveled trail due to washouts, unmarked trails and difficulty. Most reviews say not to attempt unless very well prepared.

Found this at the top of Lake Isabel. Don't really know what it is but looked like it was used to get water.

Old Mine shaft vent found on a hike. Its collapsed and was filled with water.

Old Tube found in a creek. Its hollow inside and had some water flowing through it. No pics of the water though.

Someone hiked a canoe up there. They left paddles for it as well.

Pic of the lake itself. absolutely amazing lake once we found it. Took us two tries on the trail to find it. Missed it by about one mile the first time and almost missed the cut off the second time.


These pics are from the Sunset Mines hike we did. Got lost on this one and didnt find the big open mine. going back again in a month or so when the weather turns nice and all the snow melts:

This is an old bridge. Was sketchy to cross with the snow on top of it. Couldn't see any holes or soft spots in it. Just had to go real slow

A Vent shaft from the mines. Sorry not the best pic of it

Old foundation to the mine operation and mill. The rail road ran through the building back in the day.


This is from a hike we did to a fire look out tower:

Was cool being able to go up in the tower and look through the valley.

 

The "Hamburglar" stole it.....now thats funny I don't care who you are

 

made me think of this....

the Asian version

Thats a random place for a bridge!

Try and remember to upload some pics! I would love to see them

Not entirely sure but Ive seen fish feeders that look similar to that. pour dog food in from the top and at the bottom of the tube there will be a mesh screen that will only let a little of it out, or just the scent of it, and it will attract fish. cast your line down there and catch a few every time!

 

There is supposed to be really good fishing at that lake. It used to hold the state record for lake trout but not anymore. I might have to try that this summer when I hike back up there. I was going to bring my fly rod but might have to bring a spinner as well to drop a line in there.

 

Cool stuff Lisa!

 

Wow, those stone colums are huge!

 

Subd, I need to take more pics!
