Amazing!  There can be a lotta neat stuff back in the woods.  Your job, FIND IT!

Seriously, several years ago a woman in Sussex County NJ found an abandoned 24" gauge steam locomotive in the woods not far from her office.  Everything came together at once, the leaves were down from the trees, the light was just right, and I suppose the stars and planets were in the proper alignment, she looked out her office window and.... "What's that in the woods that looks like a steam engine?"

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Link is to Bangor Daily News.  Just a way to combine two hobbies.
