Was biking along Dundas the other day when I took a wrong turn by accident and decided to turn into the 5 Drive in. I went through to the field behind the drive in and biked about half a km into it when I spotted four vehicles in the farm field. The first was a large transport truck and trailer in which I found a bunch of old ruined newspapers and unrecognizable objects that looked ancient. The second vehicle was a fry truck/van in which there was a fridge and some ovens and deep fryers. Other then the equipment the van was empty. The third vehicle was an old ford truck with a wood carrying trailer which was pre cool cause of how old the model was. The driver side door was so rusted I was unable to completely get it open. The fourth and final vehicle was this school bus just brimming with random objects from the past such as old check dated in the 80's, a note on some ads that was signed in the 90's, old credit cards, business books from the 90's and many more. I have no idea what the story is behind all these but if anyone does please leave a comment.

Absolutely gorgeous spot, however, be warned that there are a ton of ticks around the area (seriously a ton, we (me and partner) counted at least 30 on our pants), and considering the large(r) presence of wasps in the trucks themselves, keep an eye out for a nest. I guess checking it out during the winter is probably the best option, but remember to be prepared with tick spray (and appropriate attire, as the lack of both cut my time with the trucks short). The trucks were thoroughly stripped (we found less valuable engine parts on the ground next to them), but the remaining electrical and mechanical equipment is absolutely beautiful. Getting to the site is very easy, and approaching near the fry truck seemed to be the easiest option (as the fence on that side was already destroyed and the bushes are far thinner).
