Sunken Jeep in the Keys

[brando]

So I was out exploring a remote trail in the keys on my motorcycle yesterday when I found this sweet little campsite with a bench. I noticed something odd in the water, only to realize it was a fully submerged Jeep!

Just thought you guys might find it interesting. I hope to explore the area with a boat in the near future. I guess 4x4 just isn't enough sometimes...View attachment 54060View attachment 54059

that's funny someone must have just said 'fuck it' and left it.

I really wanted to take a dinghy out there and check the lagoon out better, but it'll be too much of a stretch in borrowed dinghy. Probably would be a doable overnighter. I think I'll head back later in the week with a mask and snorkel. Might even be some goodies in the glove box!

i have a real penchant for this type of 'urban' decay becoming a 'natural' relic. I think it took root when I was out kayaking at low tide and ended up poking a paddle into a small sunken rowboat. Somehow really enticing just the sight of these things

See if it'll start.

Went back and snorkeled around it bit. Glove box was already open
But there were probably 1000+ fish all around and inside it, so that was cool. Wish I had a submersible camera!
