Junkyards are like time capsules, lots of interesting stuff.

When I was a kid, my friend and I decided to build a go-cart so we rode 10 miles on our bikes to the dump and found a bunch of aircraft tail-wheels, seats, lawnmower engine and stuff.

We had to stash our stuff aside as it took about 4 trips over the course of 2 weeks (woa...80 miles) to get all the stuff home, and we crashed in the ditch a few times on the way as we didn't have a good way of securing all the stuff on the bicycles so we carried, tied, dragged stuff the 10 miles home.

That's the era when kids had great unsupervised adventures and you didn't need to be watched over every second as a preteen.
