Well with the urging of my friend, I decided to start a blog about my adventures of finding cars in barns, yards, fields, etc. 

I just have an introductory post up there now, but I'm going to start at the beginning of my journey, and work forwards to today through the next few days.  Posting pictures along with each post so you can know approximately where I've been and what I've seen.

I believe you can comment on each post, you don't have to register I believe.  Check it out, and drop a story of your own in there.

Nice site & some cool finds. :2thumbs:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Sorry, I didn't make it clear.  Part 2 is "Superbird in the Barn."

Thanks all, keep updated.  Now that I've graduated from college, I'll be updating it more often I hope.

Hey Ryan,

My old roommate who now lives in Chicago has a interest in finding a '71 Challenger.  Do you know of any around there?  If you come across one let me know and i can get you in contact with him.
