    Thanks guys.

    Friend of mine has been scrapping also, and we work things out 60/40 if we use his truck/trailer. Works for us.

    Now if we just had a way to retrieve about 4 abandoned cars sitting 100' straight down a ravine

    I drove up Abbitt mountain today to try and find that spot, since it's been years since I was up there. I found 2 or 3 spots where they "could" be, break-offs in the road, but there was no shoulder to pull off on and with the blind curves I wasn't comfortable just stopping, and I couldn't see the bottom of the hill from inside my truck. One thing is for sure though, I would want a long rope tied around the guard-rail before scaling down that cliff, because it is pretty high up, and in places it's almost completely vertical. If I had a couple hundred feet of steel cable on that crank I took off the old boat trailer we could probably use that to haul pieces of them up to the road, if we can locate them.

    I went over the top and looked for the wide spot where dad said people are bad to throw out trash, and I didn't find anything really worth while. I grabbed the lid to a 50 gallon barrel, but couldn't see much else in passing, a pop can here and there, but it was mostly plastic and stuff that you can't sell, unless you know of some place I don't that will pay you for stuff like that.
