    13:43 Jay, but you fighting against it and winning encouraged me to keep working even when felt like crud, plus severe pain, due to my chronic illness/condition, knowing your condition. So, you had a part in helping me get Dad's 1964 Beetle he bought in 1968 on the road, so I can go to medical appointments. Wish you were not on the opposite corner of the USA, would buy you lunch.
    By the way, up at five to attempt to get the shifter adjusted so not going into reverse. DayQuil thankfully took some of the nausea away. Well, better get out there before gets any later, just wanted to give you a big thank you.

    It is a shame your engineering works from last year have partly failed but you can redo them. I think it is very likely that the bus roof was saved for the other bus. I say that because they seem to have cut it with care and a lot of other stuff is just dumped all around and this is not squashed. Jason take care man if you get injured there then no one will know and you need at least one good knee! 👍👍

    Dang near need a dredger to clear the land around that bus! Looks like the dolly used to move it was still under that upper remnant of a bus, might be worth saving if it's not too rotten. Heavy-duty casters! Should pull better on its roof.

    As you look at that ford from the rear theres a big tree to the left ,what if you attach a large winch about 10 foot up the tree and the end to each of the fords wheels in turn. It might be possible to walk it away from the bus a few feet. Might also be possible to get some help from someone local with a track machine in return for some free advertising on your channel.

    Years ago, I cut the roof off a well trashed '60 15 window in Northern MN. I could only get within 150' with my trailer. Flipped it upside down as you did, clamped a rope to it at the center windshield pillar, and dragged it with all my might. Would have slid easier if the roof wasn't crusted over with lichen.
    Ended up setting it right side up on some wide sawhorses, and trailering it 1400 miles across the Dakotas and Montana to get home.

    "Okay, listen up. I’ve seen some strange things in my time, but the mystery of these cars in the woods might just take the cake. First off, let’s consider the evidence: the stream, the poison ivy, the tight space. You might think it’s just an unfortunate coincidence, but I’m not so sure. What if these cars were abandoned here for a reason far beyond what we can see?
    Think about it: why would anyone leave perfectly good cars to rot in the forest? The answer might lie in something supernatural. Maybe these woods are cursed, and anything left here is bound to be swallowed by nature, never to be seen again. Or perhaps there’s something extraterrestrial at play. These cars could have been used by aliens for experiments, then discarded like yesterday’s trash once they were done.
    Consider the weird weather patterns. It’s like the forest has a mind of its own, constantly trying to reclaim what’s been taken from it. The constant rain, the strange noises, the trees growing into the cars-these aren’t just natural occurrences. They’re signs of something more. Maybe these woods are a hotspot for paranormal activity, a Bermuda Triangle of sorts for vehicles.
    And what about the objects found in and around the cars? The woolly mammoth tusk, the mummy-like object, the old horseshoes-these are relics of a past that doesn’t quite fit into our timeline. It’s as if the forest is a portal, drawing in artifacts and people from different eras and dimensions.
    Lastly, the idea that these cars are somehow linked to a broader conspiracy can’t be ruled out. Perhaps they were part of a government experiment gone wrong, or a secret project that was abandoned when things got out of control. The cars were left behind, a testament to something that was never meant to be discovered.
    In any case, the truth is out there, hidden in the dense foliage and murky waters of these woods. We just have to dig deeper, look beyond the obvious, and embrace the wild speculation that might just lead us to the answer. Because in the end, isn’t that what we’re all searching for? The truth, no matter how strange or unbelievable it may be."

  • @ricktaylor4real
    @ricktaylor4real 6 дней назад +1

    I’ve been following this “recovery”, and have to admire your tenacity and think the memories and bonding you’ve had with your son are all awesome. But I HAVE to ask…. what makes this worth your while? I just don’t get it (and I’m serious, not trying to be rude at all), what makes this van worth it? If someone offered me half a million to get this out, well I’d do it because I’d hire heavy machinery and yank everything out, but there is NO way anyone is making that offer. So what can this be worth? As it sits it’s worth what, $1500…. MAYBE? Even if I’m way off and it’s worth 10k… how is that worth ALL the extremely HARD tedious work for you? I haven’t even added in the driving TIMES back and forth. I get that this is a passion I can’t understand because I see these differently (and I love cars), but truly I see a heap of metal not worth anything. That’s probably why I’m watching, I’m dying to see what you do to this bus…and that’s a long way away I’d guess. So… what makes this worth what you’ve got into it? Please & thanks! 🤠👍🏼☮️
    PS…. Don’t ever go alone there again man!! If you’d have landed on something sharp when you tripped… who would have been able to help you?? BRING someone with you next time!! Always.

    I admire your perseverance. You do excellent rescues but some need to be left behind. That place is evil so time to walk away. But it's great content for the channel.

    You get a thumbs-up for your ultimate masochism in absolutely refusing to come home with nothing on the trailer.
