Baby diaper stuffed in a tree.... oh wait that isn't weird that's just trash putting trash in places it doesn't belong because they're too lazy to carry it back out.


Sometimes that works out though. Once I came upon a tree where someone had put their cigarette butt into a knothole and it was catching fire by the time I had gotten there so I just walked two yards to another tree where someone else had left their Big Gulp cup suspended in the branches and dumped that on it. Crisis averted. :)

I couldn't resist. I can't imagine what I'd use the baby diaper for though...

I will be gone, but not forever.
I found a huge thread on a similar topic a few years ago and then managed to hunt around and find a bunch more on various other outdoor themed forums. They are an endless timesuck, but very interesting. Here's a few I have bookmarked:

I confessed a horrible secret for this account!
nothing in my experiences beats findind an old bathtub among a flowering field in the trek around the airport in Puerto Williams (aKa The only place south of Ushaia).

'Scuse for black-and-white-artisty, but that's what I do :P Not leeching, site is mine.

Out here, everything hurts.




I found a 1950's Ford last fall while out kayaking. On a stretch of the Des Moines river that's in the middle of the woods with the nearest access point at least a couple miles off, just an old car sitting up to the doors in silt in an oxbow with a 10' bank behind it. I'm sure someone dumped there decades ago.

If the river's low enough to see it next time I go by I'll get a picture.

Speaking of weird stuff found while kayaking, here's a steam engine I found in the swamp the other week:



Also found some other abandoned machinery and stuff along the river, such as this shack:
