On the way back through I stopped to check it out more thoroughly and noticed small bits of plastic/trim from a vehicle scattered about the area and realized it had been a car that came down the bluff and took out the walkway. It's a fairly smooth/even slope but probably somewhere around 65 degrees and maybe 60 yards or so to the top. It had to have been just bounding down the hill and must have been a huge impact when it hit and probably flipped over the walkway. Would have been cool to see it winched back out like you were able to, (or even cooler to have seen it come down
) . I searched the net for any articles/mentions about a crash in the area when I got home but never found anything so figured it was likely a stolen car dump as well. They already had the bridge/walkway repaired the next time I went down there a week or two later and you wouldn't even know it had been bashed up if not for the few small bits of metal and plastic here and there. You can still see some of the young maple trees on the slope that are now bent back up the hill from when they extracted the vehicle though.ron
