I came across this while traveling through the coastal mountains of Oregon. It is an old Forest Service truck that was used for fighting fires. It was relegated to the back part of a seldom used Forest Service storage lot and left for decades.
That is not where I photographed it however. It has just been sold at auction cheap, and the new owner towed it to his driveway.
