One of the tires was also in the wash.
The piece missing from the tire was close by.
This rat's nest was in the middle of the wash, the little guy collected a lot of small pieces of the F-105 wreckage to reinforce his home.
Found these past the wash about 200 feet from the impact crater.
This ciircuit board traveled a long way without being broken.
Electrical connectors with a piece of aluminum that they are attached to. Was surprised to find these so far from the impact area.
Turning same part over, found a Republic inspection stamp and the part number with the 79 prefix. Both the 57 and 79 prefixes were used on F-105 part numbers.
This heavy piece of aluminum was about a hundred yards from the crater. Wanted to keep looking around, but it was getting late and the sun will be setting soon.
One last look at the crater as I start the hike back to the truck.
Made it back to the truck just after sunset.
