Check the 3/4 front shots, it has a lot of early 60's Lark to it. I never would have thought about it till SS mentioned it.

Woke up this morning to this. Left to go to TRU and get an egg sandwich and found the Window smashed and stereo stolen. But under my gloves in the console was my Leatherman and a reg. Talladega Hunt.

Thanks for the concern. Yeah it ticked me off especially right in front of my place but at least they left the car. I have an old Kenwood deck laying around from my Durango all I need is the install kit. Luckily the wiring is the same. And the glass should be covered through insurance and a t 15 bucks a year glad I took it. Not the worst situation.:o

Okay, if you've seen many of my pics, you may recognize this red Chevy 3500 and the ramshackle barn in this pic;
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/stupidsquirrels/001-1.jpg
I've shot pics here before, a couple of times, but until yesterday I'd never set foot on the property.

Well yesterday I went back, determined to roam the property looking for hidden treasures, I knocked on the door of the obviously abandoned house, after getting no answer, I just decided to go for it.


I hit the jackpot!

I've shot the truck and tractor before, but never could get this close;

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/stupidsquirrels/003-2.jpg
What's that behind this truck, could it be another truck?

These pics are taken about 20 miles from my home in Portales N.M.

I actually love this place, but the creep factor is definitely there, when I went behind that barn, I half expected to find Leatherface hacking up a traveling salesman or hitchiker or something.

Straight back from the tree to the left of the car is the foundation of a house that burned down next to piles of burned debris

Back of the barn;
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/stupidsquirrels/052.jpg


It's not hard to imagine that this place could have been empty for 20 years or more (I'll have to check the exp. on the Comet's plate next time I go out there), There are piles of stuff along the back of the property, the result of dumping.

I actually come here often, though yesterday was the first time I set foot on the property. I park out front and enjoy the solitude.

I'm going to make a night trip out here soon, next time the moon's full
