Wait so the smugglers built the two story building and left all of that stuff out there?

I'm sure squatters built the building and smugglers just dumped their stuff there over the years after it was abandoned. There are 15-20 different squatter compounds out on our property.

Depends if you're fast enough to get it started and moving (if it moves) before the squatter puts a lot of holes in it with his rifle. He maintains it is his land, though he hasn't met the requirements to claim squatter's rights and the Sheriff wants him out of town.

So you have a guy on your land, making himself right at home, without your permission, and nobody will do anything about it?

It really is a long story, and I don't want to take us too off topic, but the short of it is that the surveys are antiquated and require the State to change where the El Paso County line is, which is a big, complicated deal.

But we don't have anything better to do than read a long story. Please enlighten us on the drama. Our lives are boring and we thrive off other peoples challenges.

On the blue car bottom right hand corner-it looks like it has '69 Camaro style tail light lenses, but the chrome on the lenses would only be present if the car was an RS. The fact that there is a white, reverse, light present in the center of the tail light tells me that they are NOT RS tail-lights. Further, no reverse lights located in the lower valance on the rear of the car means NON-RS. The rear bumper looks like it is off a '69 Firebird as the Camaros went straight across right above the license plate, were thinner over all, and had 2 little "down-legs" coming off the bumper vertically, and then bolting onto the lower valance.
It's an odd ball assortment of parts, but put me in line as a cash-buyer if no one else wants it. Yes, I'll even come & haul it off immediately. Can I hunt when I come for the car?
People mentioning finding guns... When I was a teenager in high-school, I worked for a rental car company. It was my job to vacuum the cars when they came back from being rented. I found 4 different hand-guns in a course of a couple of years, and got to keep them all as the customers never called back for them. So, either they were stolen, or otherwise the owner was too embarrassed to call back and ask about them. The company would hold them for 90 days and if no inquiry was made, we got to keep them! Other guys on the crew got guns as well.
And the most unusual thing I find when in the woods is piece of mind. It is so rare to find it when working/living in the city.
A hog is nothing more than a bullet receptacle.

Haha, I knew I shouldnt have mentioned the car I knew there were bound to be some car guys on here. Good luck to anyone who tries to get that car and you're welcome for me pointing it out. My finders fee is a ride when youre done restoring it.

Cool thread. The only thing I've ever found while hunting is an OLD climber, I mean this thing had to be a prototype of the first climber ever. It was around the base of an old oak and the tree had grown into it severely.

I think that is a firebird based on the lights. The camaro lights were different as I remember.
