Mystery white object on Crown Point..?

[mandrake]

Nice score on the loot there, Don! Can make some good money selling that stuff at used gear sales.

I seem to remember some scary-looking tarps somewheres lower down in the gully. Had images of bodies getting tossed off from above, so didn't feel compelled to investigate too closely.

What an interesting mix! For the most part, these are all items that I can see getting whipped away by the a blast of wind... not sure about the picnic table, though... that might be the work of vandals. There must be hundreds of hats down there from unsuspecting tourists, right...?

Tom,

Yes, most items are consistent with what one would expect to be wind tossed. I agree on the picnic table - likely vandals.

Also, yes, more hats than I could take out. I concentrated on cans! This would be a great area for a group effort for litter pick up.

I saw no tarps today but perhaps some farther down the slope? Lots more to explore there. As for loot, I hardly made a dent - there is a lot of good stuff but I just grabbed a few goodies and concentrated on trash for this trip.

I would not at all be surprised at bodies tossed down these cliffs over the years. I hope I never find one!

Mystery object sent down the cliff today. The plan was to haul it up to the road but it was way too heavy. I hope I got the right one! It was a pickup bed cover. I was surprised to find no less than seven pickup bed covers in the ravine and one bed liner. I sent one other cover and the bed liner down the slope too. Hopefully to a location where they may be removable from below.

I ran out of time today so was not able to verify if said object is no longer visible from afar.

In case you haven't been back out there, you definitely got it. It's finally gone!

"Nice furry thing..." I wouldn't touch that, man.

Aaron,

Thanks for checking it out! Now we need a mission to go see where it ended up and see what else is down there.

The seven bed covers (BTW, I looked online and single piece hardtop bed covers like that were going for over $1,000/ea.) were all laying top up so the lip around the bottom side was snagged on rocks or dirt. Once I turned the two I moved over, they went down the gully on the slightly convex top surface like a rocket. I'll bet there are some more way down the hill that just happened to land top down so they continued down the hill unimpeded.
