Junk on the Trail!!

[isawtman]

I've read posts about people avoiding urban industrial areas.
But, seeing what I call "junk on the trail" is one of the greatest things
ever!!!! I've seen an old junker truck when hiking the North Country Trail
and I've seen and old trailer house on the Ice Trail Trail. (See Photos)

Please note that "junk on the trail" is totally different than garbage on the trail

So what "junk on the trail" have you seen on the camino?
It would be great if you posted photos

@Bradypus: Snap! You beat me to it.

On the Ingles, just past Bruma/Meson do Vento.

I'm torn.
If we're talking really old junk, it would be this water spigot on the San Olav (Cubillo de Lara?):


But if we're talking run of the mill human junk, it would have to be stuff like this washing machine that's seen better days as a washing machine, but is now a fine substrate for weeds.
Camino Frances, near Las Herrerias.

You'll see lots of abandoned boots on the trail. They would be garbage. Boots that have been adopted and gifted with flowers could fit your definition of junk. They often have been elevated to mojone status.

Love the washing machine! Looks like it might be a home for some cats

I wonder if anyone has attempted to climb up and get a selfie? Our community is always fishing people out of strange (but mostly dangerous) places

I've always assumed that's how the pilgrim got in its mouth

Boots on the Camino don't tell the "Camino busy body"

A flying guitar on the CF near Virgin del Camino. Imagine that.
