With the second strike of the spade, Gord hit something solid, but interestingly soft at the same time. A quick scrape and we found he had hit the rubber bumper guard on the top of the forward bulkhead. A little careful dusting away of the mud, and there it was, visible for the first time in 50 years: the rad cap access cover. The handle turned easily and up it opened. We were ecstatic to say the least!

We traced to the vehicle right of that point and opened up the rad intake just behind the drivers seat and could see engine and rad parts hiding deeper below.
