In the Bay Area, hikers encounter not only stunning landscapes but also abandoned vehicles, which have become a part of the natural scenery. These rusting car frames often raise questions about their history, with many dating back several decades. One notable example is an old Nash Rambler repurposed into a footbridge at Belmont's Rambler Trail. Karl Mittelstadt of the Belmont Historical Society notes that these vehicles may have been abandoned due to theft or loss of value. Such occurrences are rarities in today's world, but they tell compelling stories of the past.
Somewhat stunned when seeing it from a distance, I was awed by this feat of modern engineering in such a natural setting.
It's been there since the 1960s, at least,
Nowadays, you wouldn't think of abandoning a vehicle like that. It's just not something you do.
These are just isolated incidents for some reason. It could have been a stolen vehicle.
