Abandoned logging equipment, Alaska

[tommytopsoil]

I guess that one problem is that all that stuff belongs to someone, and they may be a bit miffed if it is recycled without their consent (we all get miffed when certain members of certain communities "recycle" saws from our trucks/lockups without consent).

 

I don't look favourably on people whose motives are financial not environmental in this context. They'll take the stuff to make money from the scrap, not because thay want to clean up the environment.

 

Furthermore, artefacts like those are a record of a chapter of history. An abandoned logging truck isn't an environmental disaster waiting to happen, and will in a few thousand years recycle itself. In the meantime it is as much a part of history as a ruined castle in this country - you could recycle a castle but there would (rightly) be an outcry.

 

Treewolf you are right on the money once again.

 

I think tht thread is so interesting, from so many angles, the machinery, the wildlife, the scenery for starters. Nice find that
