Great job everyone.
I have no clue who hung it there. But if you go far enough in. You will find this. 
I thought it really made a interesting photo. |

Now if you download a basc photo program like lets say Picasa. Not saying it's the best but it is free. You can tune a picture. That last one I mistakenly used a raw image and it's not bad.
I use the Nikon software but you do not even need to own one to use it. Lets lighten that up give it some contrast and remove some shadows.Just slide the arrows right or left. What do I get. 
I will let you decide whitch image looks better. I saw it one way my camera another. I just brought the image back to what I had seen. |

Now that's some interesting sh-t. So you actually got to climb in? I like all pictures but the, This is what I got to see what most people don't. kind of shots are the best. Hiking pictures are the same. There is no way you could see the whole state. If you went there share them. Fuzzy grainy or colors not so strong. IM them to me. I will clean them up enhance some colors and send them back and then you can post them. It's only a bad picture, if no one can see it. I have worked on that M-18 from time to time. Got loads of interior/crew compartment pics. Will have some of the Chieftain and that M114 up ASAP. Helping a friend move right now. |

The dog bit I'm not sure where it stems from, and not sure how it could be enforced with just about everything from pigmy marmosets to blue whales being labelled as "service animals" and hence exempt from such rules. |

If you turn off at the wagon wheel road between Show Low and Lakeside/ Pinetop then take a short hike. You might find this spot. You need to keep your eyes peeled.

U.S. forest service marked lock. The large chain and huge loop held a much larger lock at one time. They seem to have went with this setup later. I have no clue how long this has been here.
The lid seems to have been set in place. It has lifting eyes. Was covered in a tar or tar paper surface of some sort. 
More clues will be forthcoming. That blue anodised thing is my daughters walking stick. I use a wood one she likes the high tech aluminum. |

I am thinking Friday morning we will see what's inside. They really didn't want anyone in there. It was closed up until a couple of years ago.
With a big master lock It could be easily closed again. You would need a generator and a angle grinder or a torch and tanks to get it open. That's a lot of crap to have to haul through the forest. It took a lot of work to build it where it stands.

Well here we go. That post to the left used to have a sign that has been taken.
It said Explosives. Meplat got it first. When it was first opened up there were three Apache powder company boxes made of wood in there. I moved one and they seemed to have something in them. So I left them alone. Next trip went out to take the photos and. 
It's empty.  The pipes are there to let fumes out and not let rain in. Wood lined and made to direct the blast upwards. Blow the lid off.
No mines around but I think they used it to get the power line poles in. But now you know.

More pics of armor from the MV show-
M114- 
Driver's compartment- 
(tried to shoot these like you were getting in, the last I had to cheat) Crew compartment from the rear hatch- 
And down the VC's hatch. This had lots of thick direct vision blocks- 
General shot above the radio stack to show the attention to detail. This was a beautiful restoration. 
And the radio stack itself. 
Tried to get some good shots of the engine, but it's very cramped. basically a militarized small block Chevy.

It was a really very nice restoration, and seemed to be fully operational(excluding the dummy armament) The images could have been better, I was very tired when shooting them, and missed a lot of the detail shots I managed when I took internals of the M-18 earlier. They have been resized considerably. I can't fault the camera, it's a friend's and is far superior in many ways from the old Pentax K-1000 I used to have. |

The right hand ones in the old Norse runes stood for the letter G for Germany where the Linde bottles were made. It was a good luck symbol too.
But about 36 they start to go left. That's a Nazi cylinder. Well made while they were in power. After the war they still used it till the 50's. When large numbers were imported into the US they started hammering a square over all the Swastikas. It is known as the Linde window. It looks like a window. The Nitrogen one is a Nazi cylinder. That window is hiding something. One more old one then I will move on. If I find a really interesting one I will post it. Un modified right hand one. Got through the wire somehow. 
10 /16 that got the window treatment. 
The plus behind the date means it can be filled 10% over it's rated pressure safely. 2015 can go to 2200 or so. Not only do they pass test they can and are overfilled. That means the customer has to rent less cylinders. If you see a star after that. That means they passed so well that they only need to be tested every ten years. The plus sign didn't start till later. Cholla gets a bonus point for spotting the wartime one. The others may be Nazi ones but they only stamped on the first test. They all may be. No one will know. |

Found a new place today. Just a great mix of scrap, well picking stuff and old and I mean OLD cars. Trailers with the axle's taken off packed full of stuff.
Some of it 20ft high. Pretty tight in places but slightly better organised. Sharp edges broken glass and tripping hazards abound. Then hit up the airport and got some more good pictures there too. Lets get started. View when you first step in. 
I think I got 46 pictures in all. So I have to drop them a few at a time. Hope you enjoy.

I wish her the best. Having provocative subject matter in her shots will only help. Very few go this way. Think of every suspense movie you have seen. Where were the most intense scene's. Old warehouses and junk yards? If she can find a decent spot. I can only ask that you E mail me a few. I would love to see them. My problem is lighting. It's always intense here. If you didn't live in China, I might have shown you two around a bit. |
