"Some time in 1972" I was between high school in Pennsylvania and college in Ohio, still treasuring memories of a summer 1971 in Arizona and Denver. The West was a magical place for me back then, and these deer killers in a VW in Colorado would have seemed like magical beings.

I always hated hunting season in Rifle, Colorado. Dead deer and elk were strapped all over vehicles, and drive through town. I'm not sure why i don't see that now--maybe people are more considerate, maybe they drive down the bypass instead of through town, or maybe it's against the law. In about 1971, my brother took photographs of dead deer and posted them in an anti-hunting poster at Rifle High School. This was not appreciated by our classmates. Of course, all of our ancestors and most of our relatives were hunters. My grandparents guided hunters near Rifle. Here are a couple of photos of them. Yuck. (I've been a vegetarian for 38 years). www.flickr.com/photos/jlcrook/3261761946/ www.flickr.com/photos/jlcrook/3260934091/

Thinking about the EPA, I was thinking more along the lines of "toxic waste dumping" - is this simply abandoned in the ocean and not cleaned up (also under the EPA's jurisdiction I would imagine as it's a hazard) with none of that involved? Because it's actually kind of beautiful in a destructive, contrasting way.

The drive to Chicago from western Michigan was always punctuated by the section around Gary, Indiana. The odor from the steel mills was unavoidable and extremely unpleasant. I remember the first time our family drove to Chicago in our shiny new 1955 Chevy. The two things that stuck in the remory of an eight year old boy were Chicago's Outer Drive with traffic and skysrapers ( the tallest of which was the 42 story Prudential Building ), and the smoke filled drive through Gary. Now, the drive is much differennt with clean air, a much different Chicago skyline, and the now more visible rusting steel mills.

That car would have gone back to the earth by now. Salt water is pretty harsh on those old bugs.

Cavetroll2: It appears that you think it would have been fine to leave it for nature to cleanup. Well, nature has done a pretty good job for a few million years but, look at the nasty water and consider that the pic isn't about just one old car. There were millions dumped almost everywhere, along with a gizillion tons of other garbage. Only a sadistic masochist would want our environment to revert back to that disgusting era.
