Well darn I have had 2 nice days to take a few pics and I get into a Honey do list and can't get away. 
Hopefully it will be nice tomorrow.

What is going on?!? Almost 3 weeks now and still no contributions for the photo contest?
I was hoping to get in on this since I haven't missed a photo contest in... well, like a long time. But my car isn't out of storage yet. It should be and probably will be next week. But my wife never got around to getting a new validation sticker (which was due in Feb), so I can't take it out.
What about the other members? The last few contests have been so strong? Are all the Monte Carlos still in storage?

Well just wondering if any one was going to post a shot on this one. But while I was at home I was able to find a day to take a couple of shots. Although I wanted to take a drive to find a couple of other locations out of town that would be great, the days I had to do that trip it rained. 
This is an abandoned station right in town.
I also found an old Bank ATM that was abandoned but it wasn't as great of a shot as I would have liked. There was also an old 30's era flat bed truck that I found just couldn't get close enough for a good pic.

I want everyone to be able to play along.
If you have an archived photo that would fit and hasn't been a subject of another contest, go ahead and put it in.
I thought this one would be a good pick for a subject. By now I thought the weather would have been good enough to be out for a photo, its nearly May already.
Well see what you can do remember we can use the Diecast Monte as well.
I have attached a photo of my second choice just for a reference sample.

I wouldn't say hold the door for me. The BudChev may not even be out next week. But there might not be a choice but to wait if we can't get some members to step up this weekend and make this a contest.
What with these kids today? Always postin' selfies and not car pics ...

I'm sorry, The MSTR3SS is out, but just couldn't find any thing abandoned I could get close enough too. Mostly like old barns and stuff like that around here and I stay off the long gravel roads

Maybe an old fender laying in the ditch or an Old car, bike or Trike. Up in Montana you might see an Old Wagon Wheel or the broken wagon itself. Signs are good subject matter as well as old junk cars around body shops. Shoot the picture from the abandoned item at your car.
Those old tin corrugated metal grain elevators would be a great back ground and they should be abandoned as well.
