2 boats? wtf?

you should find the license numbers on the boats, contact the DOL and see if you can find who theyre registered to... then call them and tell them you found their boat(s)!! hahaha

Back to the boats and burned out Cherokee. How did they get them on the trailer? I saw how they came off, but on? Especially with the Cherokee on top of one of the boats.

I didn't notice, did the trailer have a winch on it?

More than likely a huge accumulation over the years its been closed----we've got the same issue up here at North Fork; since closed the old staging area is just a huge shooting pit/dumping grounds...<-----Sucks Balls...

This is SW Washington, NE of Vancouver, in the western section of the Yacolt Burn State Forest, wait for it..... SE of Yacolt.

That trailer doesn't have a winch. I don't know how the boats came in, I was in a group that made a loop to the far northern area that DNR had marked. They were talking about them in the morning, I suspect they sent a smaller trailer and a winch then brought them back to the staging area and transfered them.

There are more hulks out there that need retrieved. The Pickup the Burn is in it's 7th year, so that was only a year's accumulation. OTOH, the group that has been outh there to pick up has grown significantly over that time. The attendance last year was 75, the year before only 25 (still a good sized group). I suspect that the effort and progress to get trails built in the area has helped the attendance.

At the Piston's Wild Cruise in yesterday they had 90 registered vehicles and 350 people in attendance. I got stuck on another project and missed it.

This...

It was quite a site to see that coming down the hill behind the dually. We where doing repairs on one of the vehicles when that train came around the corner at the top of the pass. I couldn't believe it!
