We also found an abandoned picnic. No kidding. There was a plastic bread bag and 2 place settings with real silverware and the whole 9 yards. Buried under years of dirt and twigs. It was kinda creepy actually. I kept hoping we would find D.B. Cooper's treasure or something cool like that but no luck.

It was $140 that had been hidden there who knows how long.
