Default abandon carrier

Gordon's dad went north to go minning .He took three carriers and two LVT's.Like alot of us we were too joung to be interested in what happen to the old things that were left around by our parents .Guys in the south woke up to the fact that these things were getting valuable sooner than the fellows in the north .Like 2000 miles I'm talking .So alot of the military vahicles disappeared .Some ended as far away as Ottawa and to the USA . I got one of the carriers that his dad had .It was salvaged from the garbage dump in Yellow Knife .All that was left was one track , two sides and part of the rearend . The #at the back left corner is 10407 .I even thought I would take a crack at getting the one off the Island .You would have to get it ready in the summer than go back when the ice got thick enough and drag it to shore . This lake is one of the largest in the world and can be very dangerous .There is a ocean going tug with barges that were carrying 1957 Dodge cars at the bottom ,500ft . It would be great if Gordon could get it and we could help him with the restoration .What do you say Gordon ?
