Cool Christmas present!

Some great wall art for my garage! I won't say who gave me this framed overhead view of my favourite auto wrecking (it's in Minnesota) but he's a Beaumont nut, you might even say he's a bit of a guru. Don't mind the reflection of the guy taking the picture.

And I am told that another guy here who might be named Dan and who might have a 67 Acadian and who might be user DANO65 also participated in this gift.

Thanks to both of you!

Is this used for planning your attack strategy Carl?

I could have used that photo when I was there in 2018. I took the wrong path and ended up in the NW corner of the property.

 I actually try not to study it too much because it's discouraging how overgrown it's getting!

Do you see what looks like larger gray blotches in the picture? Would you believe those are cattails that are taller than humans? It's absolutely brutal. And there's cars in that swamp/cattail forest. Years ago I posted a picture of a 61 Olds bubbletop I found in there that I had never seen before. The car looked like it had driven there. Still had the fan belt on it and the wing nut on the air cleaner. I bet there's more of that stuff hiding in there that I've never seen. It is an amazing yard. It's somewhat sorted by make but there's some treasures that are out of place. This last trip Dave came across an absolutely loaded 1961 Olds 98 4 door hardtop. Auto headlight dimmer, signal seeking radio, I think it might have even have spotlights on it. (Dave?)

If you look at the picture, run a line horizontal through the middle. Then run two vertical lines to divide the yard into a total of 6 segments. The top left segment is pretty much all full size Chev Olds Cad Pontiac Buick from 1960-1970. You can guess here I spend a lot of my time!
