All,
An early morning start for Bobpbx, RednekF350, and myself, found us entering the West Plains off of Stevenson Road. Our first stop was a place Bob and I have been before; however, this time while exploring the woods nearby Bob found some old vehicles we had missed before. Here is a photo of the car.
Then off to Spung hunt. Scott stumbled onto this one hidden along an old road. We almost completely passed it by.
Then to another one nearby.
We spent the next few hours roaming around in the woods there that officially are called Bass River North. We were informed of this and after checking Boyd’s trusty topo’s on my GPS I confirmed this is true. I am talking about the woods bordered by Stevenson Road, Route72, and 539. It is not even in Bass River Township, but the name is official.
We finally arrived at my car that we left along 72, and I discovered this Green Acres Monument right along 72. Jim, you have another one to visit.
Bob then wanted to visit Broom Crowberry that is growing right along Route 72. This plant is most likely the first plant in the pines to bloom each year which may be before the end of this month. Don’t look for massive flowers since you can barely see them when in bloom. This is the farthest north in the pines that it grows.
And another challenge for Jim. Have you ever noticed these large poles while traveling down 72?
Well, they are the remains of an old Billboard from years ago that no longer is in use. I learned for Scott today that these signs are usually on small rectangular or pizza shaped tracts of lands that are carved out of the surrounding properties. And because of that they usually have survey monuments just like any other piece of property. So I looked for them and found two. That means there is another out there at the back of the poles. A quick look found nothing there.
And now to the title of this post. Bob knew the location where there were multiple cars long ago abandoned in the woods, and we traveled there today to photograph them. One of the vehicles actually was a Nash! Unfortunately, after all these years of being there someone very recently has removed them. The former location of the Nash.
A little disappointed and under the watchful eye of a game warden, we then traveled to the deep woods of the Chamberlain Branch to photograph a truck that Bob found years ago in a very remote location far from any roads. A 20 minute bushwhack brought us to a remote spung where we stopped to explore.
Another Spung
And after some serious searching we finally saw this.
After a long day of exploring Bob and Scott stopped for a well deserved rest on the side of a hill along the Chamberlain Branch that very few people get to experience. A fantastic day that we rated a 9.5 and not a 10, because SOMEONE SNATCHED THE NASH!
