    Pretty sure that old smashed up green car is an AMC Hornet. You can tell it's an AMC by the door handles, and I saw an AMC badge on the rear panel, and the tail light looks like one from a Hornet...

    It is always incredible to me, that people like you find these places that the owners couldn't keep and relatives have not wanted. Seems like it could have been a great getaway place.

      Cabins and houses in the middle of nowhere just like this are all over Alaska. People come and think they can make it, then end up moving back home and leave everything because it is too much to deal with.

    * The mystery vehicle is an 1970 AMC Hornet. The door handles are a dead give away. Never ceases to amaze me the amount of past lives just walked away from in your beautiful state Austin. These people spent a lot of time doing mechanical endeavors. Too bad they left such a sh*t pile. The 50's Ford Truck was my favorite. 👊😎👍

    @jamesthompson8008 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Makes one wonder what happened for sure, I'd say 20-30 years over growth, probably last activity in the mid 90s. Cabin was definitely a serious effort when new, didn't look like a quick, fly-by-night job.Noticed that there weren't any radials in the tire storage shed.
    Pursue it correctly, but that red/white Chevy is 73/74(by interior), a solid find(surprised it's still so intact)! Also the 54 flatbed, as well as the 63(?) - definitely solid sheet metal there(future project?), & that's BEFORE you even consider the bumpside stashes.
    Cool find, LOVED the view at the lake. Please do more like this anytime.

    Now that you found that transfer case you got to buy the place as a summer home for the Backyard Alaskan. You would have a lake, build you a nice boat dock. Plenty of room for expansion of the enterprise.

I wonder if any of the people that owned and used this stuff are still alive somewhere and think about the day they left it behind and never came back for it. We'll probably never know.
