Crash site Discovery - an unexpected adventure

I am playing one of my surviving 500+ day characters in a self imposed quest to find as many revolvers as possible and for the first time since the story line broke have I returned to the scene of the crime, so to speak.  As I was retracing old ground up by the transmitter tower the terrain stuck me as being familiar yet foreign all at the same time.  Whatever the feeling, looking up the hill just made me what to get to the top

As I was reaching the crest, I could make out the familiar looking shape highlighted by the bright sky behind.

With the caw of the crows in the back ground,  my gaze comes across the remnants of this crashed airplane.  Seeing it like this for the first time felt more exploring the downed cargo plane on TimberWolf  Mt and I rather enjoyed having that perspective , considering I randomly spawned this character in Mystery Lake.

Scooting around the wreckage I found a fair amount of useable loot.  Pretty good find overall and made me look forward to "retracing" my steps back down to the origin point.

This old bird was a solid aircraft. They way it's just impaled in the trees there with it's wings still intact speaks well for the toughness of this airframe.

A glimpse at the back.  Looks mostly intact from here.  Pretty tough airplane!

Crows doing their dance for the dead, makes me wonder what I will find below...

Dinner is served... provided that there's a little meat left on that carcass below.   now just gotta climb down, down and down

Well, doesn't this look just cozy?  Found some good loot in the wreckage,  Harvested tons of Rose hips on the way.  Was worth it just for the medicinal herbs.  

There's the other ski and a few bits of the wing and fuselage.  Looks like most of what was inside the plane ended up down here.

Little solo over-nighter.  Bushcraft skill intermediate - cooking venison on hot rocks, making herb teas

Is there something special about this?  It looks the same as that which everybody finds.

nope, the only thing special about it was my perspective, not as a crashed aviator, but more like an explorer finding a crashed aircraft deep in the mountains.  Laying dormant and long forgotten.  Sorry you couldn't wrap your head around it...
