Turquoise and white wreck
Recognize this wreck? It’s another treasure in the Gabriola woods. I’ve walked past it a million times, but always a few feet to the left, I guess. The other day something glimmered in the light, and so I took a closer look. It seems like a whole car is there, mostly covered in moss and grass now.
What era do you suppose it dates from? 50s, maybe? Apparently turquoise and white were popular colours for cars back then. But what do I know? I’m no car expert.
I am good at finding dead cars on Gabriola, though. Just when I think I’ve come across all the cars that could possibly be roting away in the woods, I stumble across yet another one.
