   Oooh, I wonder how long this car has been there and if they were skeletal yet. I have been tempted to run either a high res satellite scan or regular drone scans along those roads just to find cars like this.. you could probably solve a bunch of missing persons cases every year if you had a regular enough survey (and perhaps might even find people in time for survival if it were a weekly thing).

     ***I should have printed out the article about the Search and Rescue there, where a car went over the side, and a person was trapped in their car for many days and thought they'd die... They ended up NEXT TO ANOTHER CAR which had skeletal remains in it!!! They left a note in their car saying they were not responsible for the other dead person, who was already there. Remarkably, they were found and survived. I can't find the article, but it was LA Times or KTLA.

     @ai6yr Wow, that has to be pretty discouraging about your prospects for being rescued when you find a car with a skeleton in it.
