Attila Bethlenfalvy said:Chuck and anyone else interested, it took almost 10 months to receive permission to be on this property. There is a small window between third week of April and first week of May where ground should be firm yet foliage not in bloom, TBD by amount of precipitation from now to then. I simply did not have enough time to remove all desired items in 2 days this trip so another is planned within that time frame. Left a list of items I'm taking next trip, which will also be 2 days. ('59 Superior Pontiac moldings are not included. ) Will try to map property before returning to have a 'key'. Like the idea of saving time and miles trekked. :thumbsup:
Opening opportunity to anyone that wants to join for next foray. Two have already expressed interest in going privately. This is a massive property in upstate NY. Although few cars are restorable, there are hundreds of desirable units one just doesn't see in typical junkyards any more among the thousands present. I believe there are more procars yet as well, as property owner's description didn't match what I came across, plus I found units he did not remember. If you're within a day's drive and want in on the fun, PM/email to be kept in loop. Closest hotels ($60/single) are 16 miles one direction and 12 miles the opposite direction. Property owner says Sundays are out and he prefers to have his Saturdays free, so most likely a M-F visit, although a Friday & Saturday trip is possible.
Later return than anticipated between late snow and a wet Spring. I've been in contact with property owner throughout. As of late last week ground was still quite sloppy. Had wanted a Fri-Sat foray but owner called today and relayed that something has come up on Sat and he will not be available. Darren, John, Charles, Chuck, Dana, Nikki, and whomever else - this happens Thursday and Friday, May 9-10.
Foliage will be pushing it. Be prepared with boots and Deep Woods Off. PMs/emails to follow. Refresher pics:
