Latest Find: Half Track

[Wayofftrack]

The first picture does not look like Florida more mid west?

I have not hauled it to FL yet. It came off a ranch in New Mexico. A very famous place actually lol.

Outstanding find!! Is there a reason we can't mention the location of the find. Was it Jane Fonda's place or Ted Turner spread? Inquiring minds would like to KNOW LOL

Oh, my!

Often I have those BLOND MOMENTS and don't connect the dots to reach what SHOULD be obvious conclusions. (SIGH)

But alas! Eventually I get an epiphany and that light bulb atop my head shines brightly....

I may know this halftrack!!!
Did she for many years stand (literally on jack posts with her wheels levitated) as a landmark corner "gate guard" for Army Surplus Store in eastern New Mexico???
Did she serve as a "beacon to visitors" whom may be arriving in the neighborhood from places far, far, FAR, VERY FAR away???
Does she "GLOW IN THE DARK"???

If so, then I believe I DO know this Halftrack!
... And I might add... many, many, many people before you have inquired about acquiring her. Yet NONE before you had ever been successful.
You, Sir, may have actually BOLDLY GONE WHERE NO MAN HAD GONE BEFORE ! ! !

Sounds kinda OUT OF THIS WORLD if you ask me!!!

Please, please, tell me if this is so!

GOOGLE EARTH's former spy satellite even recorded this image of the vehicle I believe we are enjoying in this thread "on gate guard duty" back in October of 2014...

No not the surplus store track although I'm familiar with that one. This one was on a ranch outside Roswell. I should have been more specific I meant the area was famous not the specific ranch. Not sure how close it was to that ranch that had the alleged problem with the little green men, I didn't ask lol.

And the readers LAUGHED!!!








By the way....

My wife, Dianna, was born in Roswell NM in 1967 - yes the gestation period for aliens is 20 years! Her 1/2 brother still lives there in their grandmother's old house. I have explored the "neighborhood" on quite a few occasions.

Here's a thread about "discovering" a nearby Missile Silo: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showt...le-Silo-De-Mil-How-would-YOU-do-it&highlight=

(NOT intending to hijack this thread.)


Next time we are in Roswell I'll stop in and nudge the guy about that halftrack I mentioned... But was WRONG!
