Trailer on 295? (AF Canyon)

[scrogg]

Has anyone seen the flat bed trailer that is kinda hanging down the mountainside on trail 295 that branches off of Major Evans Gulch? On Google Earth it would be at 40*31'24.50"N 111*38'13.87"W elev. 8342'.

Anyone know anything about it? What it was used for? How it got there? Would it be worth trying to get out?

Is it still there? That Google Earth image is old.

 

[scrogg]

Yeah, its still there. Drove up to last Saturday.

Its been there for 20+ years, I believe at one time it was a travel trailer or a camper and the body was burned or pushed off somewhere else? We looked at getting it out of there as a service project and it just never came to fruition.

Sounds like a task for all the those eager winch operators..

I'd have to look but I recall it might sit on private property and thus any work would need to go through the land owner.

So does that mean we shouldn't be driving that trail? The only postings we saw were the trail markers.

FS Trail ends just as it enters the canyon proper but the private land owners to my knowledge have made no attempt to close the road and any gate(s) that were there have bee open in the nearly 15 years I've been going up there.
