Behind the Semi-abandoned house

I drove past this location a couple days a week for just over a month and saw no signs of life so i figured cool, abandoned, got to go take some pictures.

since the only no trespassing sign was on the front gate, i went around to the side. after hiking through the fog i made it up to the back of the house where the barns (2) were. they were totally empty but i had seen trucks and boats on the aerial photo (www.dfwmaps.com is great! i'm on a mac so can't use google earth) so i went back there and behind one of them was this first truck - looks like the 1940's version of the explorer (anyone know what it really is?) there was also a 80's ford and a boat. on the other side of a rickety barbed wire fence was the other truck, a 30's international pickup near a nice stand of trees. for me that was the best part of the whole location.

but you say - what about the semi-abandoned house?
i went up to the house and thought it was odd that there were tools and whatnot lying around in the garage. but the door to the house was open so i went inside. well there was stuff on the kitchen counters, a trash can that needed emptied and magnets and pictures on the fridge. about now i was getting that feeling in the pit of my stomach that was saying "maybe you should leave" the pictures on the fridge looked like drunk rednecks and i just *knew* they'd drive up any minute. so i looked around a bit - clothes scattered about, furniture and even a large tv. and then i was out of time so i took off.

VanHook went there about a week later and said there was food in the fridge and even a nintendo. very interesting.

Are you shooting medium format, or are you cropping to squared frames?

looks like a early 50's F-100 panel wagon. the international is sweet, too.

Oh God. If my dad found this place, he'd feel like a kid in a candy store. He loves fixing up old cars and trucks.

It's an old International Harvester but I sure don't know HOW old.
Cool!

I'm a blatant waste of time and resources.

Your dad and my boyfriend should hang out together! Man, I probably have parts to some of those trucks in my basement as we speak!

Looks like a 1935 or so.
