I love old roads because if you look carefully, you see the remnants of old inhabitants. Old house foundations, old gardens, old tires, old barns, old bottles, old bones [deer or cow usually] and once in a while you hit a jackpot discovery of something wild and wonderful.

Like this crazy thing.
We rounded a bend and there it was at the side of the road.
I know you're thinking it, so I'm just going to come right out and say it.
What the heck is it?
I thought at first it was some kind of farm equipment, but now I don't think so.
Maybe road equipment?
Click to blow the pics up, then have at it guessing what it was. I'd really like to know.
