Default Arizona- exploring old abandoned wrecks, hiways, mines, etc

For years, I have kept records of cars, equipment , wrecks etc when I would find them while exploring. Last dec, our Arizona Pontiac Power Group started actively exploring them further.
When I found this wreck, it was through binoculars at a fair distance. I spent considerable time trying to ID it that way. After some time, I was convinced it was a '58 Pontiac conv! What an unusual find. A few months back, we hiked down to locate it and document exactly what it was. Here are some pics-









Here is a 1956 Star Chief I also found a few years back.





the 316 and hyro still sits in the frame rails.



If anyone is interested in joining us, we have these exploritory hikes planned from time to time. We have also been discovering old mines and exploring them as well as sections of old, abandoned hiways. Most of the cars we have found have been from the mid 20s to the early 60s. About 3 dozen so far.
There is a detailed thread I started here if you want more info and pics. Lots of adventure here for the right people.

It's another reason for joining the Arizona Pontiac Power group. Our photo section has dozens of photos of the 7 adventures we have completed since December. Our next one is Thursday.
