"Do you know where I can find old cars or trucks in the weeds?" I ask the auto repair shop owner.
"I know of one old truck off to the side of the road just before you start up the mountain to Mt. Pisgah," he tells me.
With camera in hand, I head for the mountain and "out of the blue" there it sits, just like he said. Spirea winds its way through the once functional radiator and honeysuckle vines twirl about the truck bed. Perfect, I say to myself. Now if I only knew the story behind this truck. We all have a story to tell, but alas, there was no one to ask. I'll just have to let my imagination tell its story.
