I'll always go out of my way hiking or riding to investigate such spots. In Utah and eastern Nevada the debris usually is quite visible, as it takes a while for the desert to overgrow the remains. I can't help but wonder what wonderful remains your forests have already reclaimed or concealed.<br /><br />That's weird about the cold reception. Maybe those folks have been long enough removed from greater society that they're becoming some sort of strange hill-people... Any idea how many hikers have gone missing in Jawbone?
