Found something random in the middle of nowhere

[Alan]

I was hiking miles from any road and found a full couch just sitting there. I have no idea how it got there or why. The woods are weird sometimes. What's the strangest or most random thing you've come across way out in the woods?

I found this about a mile back in a canyon north of Cuba, NM. Technically I didn't find it. Someone told me it was there but didn't know how far back it was or which side of the canyon. The Spring Canyon itself was really nice but it had a bad vibe but I think it was the story I was told about the site and the thunderstorm that was raging to the west and eventually went over. Archeologist apparently found disarticulated skeletons of the Gallina people at the site. From what I've read that is common.

I’ve been there, that Indian site. A friend took me to hunt on “the homestead “, a section of land his grandparents owned. After I took my cow elk, we went to see this place and it was surreal, seeing how they lived and thinking about how life was for them.
Beautiful place!!

Before cell phones, so no picture. I found an old single barreled shotgun grown into the forks of a tree, the metal rusted and the stock rotted away. The forearm wood was mostly grown up in the tree. Somebody placed their shotgun there, and either got lost or it got dark, and they didn’t/couldn’t find it again.

I lived in Farmington for 3 years, for work. I've been back home for about 3 years. It's called Nogales Ruin and it has other names that I don't recall. It's not as old as Mesa Verde or Chaco Canyon. I have a ton of pins for Anasazi and later sites on Google Earth for Death Valley, CA, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. I haven't been to more than 20-25% of them. About the time I think I know where they all are someone tells me about one or I find something on Google Earth,

It was very surreal when I was there. About the time I got to the top the thunderstorm that I had heard to the west blew over the site. The clouds were maybe 10-20 feet above that canyon walls. I was tucked in as best as I could be. I could see short bolts of lightning hit the top of the canyon. Bright flashes and loud booms made me think the "old ones" didn't want me there
