It was visited by YouTube channel Exploring With Josh, and it is remarkable.

The backstory of an unusual car graveyard
The exact details of how this boneyard came to be are a little blurry.
Residents in the local area claim that a man began dragging broken down cars into the forest back in the 1960s.
It was assumed that he was repairing them, or dismantling them to scrap them for parts.
Where the cars came from isn’t clear.
Presumably, once word word got about this spot for abandoned cars, more people decided to take their unwanted vehicles there.
Before long the forest was home to vehicles ranging from police cars to fire trucks and school buses, as noted by onlyinyourstate.com.
And to add another level of mystery to this place – nobody knows for sure how many vehicles are actually there.
It’s well into the hundreds and might even topple over into thousands.
But nobody can say for certain.
Why do so many of these sites exist in the US?
It’s not clear how many car boneyards exist within the US, but there’s plenty to go around.
If you lived out west, this Montana site full of post-war classics is a real treat.
Further south is this Miami spot playing host to hundreds of damaged supercars.
It’s inevitable that in a country as vast as the United States, people would be finding spots to leave their unwanted vehicles.
As a result, these spots are treasure troves for car lovers all across the nation.
