The reward is reallyawsome someone will take advantage of it to seek a better life.
I'm so sorry these posts are all over the place. For some reason it is only working when I break it up this like. I wanted to put them all in order from traveling from Vreeland Rd, down Peters, to Van Horn, so you can get a full idea. Maybe one day I'll figure that out. Ha!
Below are pictures of Peters Rd where it turns to go back south to Vreeland, where Target Steel is. Also, I took pictures of the side of the road where you can see the garbage and debris. I noticed that at least 3 tvs were thrown onto the side of the road and broke in this area, which seemed odd, along with the mattress, regular garbage, and at one point I saw a black garbage bag on the side of the road that seemed full of mud or dirt but I didn't want to check....
After seeing the road in this condition, is what makes me think back to the chance of finding a "cloth leaf" just laying on the grass. I'm not saying whoever reported that is lying but my focus was on so much other junk and garbage that it is really making me wonder how it came about. But maybe all of the garbage and debris came from somewhere like blowing garbage cans, opened garbage bags, or anywhere else possible..

See my bold - YES, exactly. The "finding" and reporting of that leaf was *not* a random find IMO. Agree completely.
GREAT WORK - THANK YOU!:takeabow:
I do have some more of just the wooded areas, roads leading up to this area, and fenced areas. I posted the main ones, but yes, the area is quite extensive and goes back deep and wide. The buildings alone gave me the creeps that I couldn't even imagine searching through the woods nearby.

Please, all you want, if you ask me. Fantastic stuff, monster12
What was your sense of things, as you understand Chelsea's disappearance so well? What came to mind about this discovery of her things?
Are those questions to me or the poster above? If it's to me, I don't think I understand your question.

The above pictures were taken from Peters RD in Flat Rock, facing north to Van Horn RD. They are the buildings in the field across from the trailer park. The bottom two pictures are taken from Peters Rd looking to the left towards the trailer park so you can see how visible it is from that area of the road.
I have several more I am going to try and keep posting then I will edit to describe it once I see which ones it lets me load....bear with me..
Hey there .... the I&M (illinois and michigan) Canal runs throw my town ... there is a building pretty much identical at the beginning of it. Shambles and all. There is also one in the next town over on the canal. My family has lived her for over a half a century and we never knew what they were used for (we guessed possible tolls along the canal when they turned it into a path).
Anyway, is there a canal around that area anywhere (or a towpath???)?
Edited to say: GREAT WORK BTW!!! It is absolutely awesome sleuthing!
I am asking b/c off of the towpath in my area, there are duck ponds, caves, an area called split rock that they broke to build the canal ... just thinking of all the hiding spots along the way is eerie.
It's very good of to share your knowledge of the area. Thank you. May I impose on you to possibly mark a google map of the areas you mean. I'd be very interested in seeing what you mean. TIA
We have not had snow in awhile. If I had to guess, I would say most of it was melted by mid/late March, I can't really remember. I know we had some warmer days starting in mid March so most of it seemed to be gone except for the large frozen piles. The past few weeks have been warmer with rain so it is all gone now.
In response to the walk from the trailer park, it would not be a far walk at all. One of the entrances to the trailer park is located near the buildings/field so you would just walk out and cross the street. I am not good at judging distances so I'm not even going to try. Ha. Some of the other parts that back up to the road and building are the "back yards" of the trailers located along the road with some trees to walk through. Very accessible.
I also thought of someone dropping/planting this "evidence" in regards to the Flat Rock false claims. But that was a few months ago it seems but maybe something was there and the weather and timing just happened to be right.
I went back on the Halloween event page and was doing some rereading. Not sure how many of you have looked on it or have access to Facebook. I found some posts that I thought were interesting. Once again, another Flat Rock reference. Someone mentioned seeing Chelsea and then had to leave the party to drive a guy back to Flat Rock early in the morning....I know it is probably just my brain reading into things too much but I can't help it when all of this seems to keep leading back to this latest "discovery".
I live in Illinios, sorry to confuse! The canal in my town goes to michigan actually and the areas look similar so I was wondering about those same kind of areas being where Monster is roaming ;-) I was actually going to take a picture of the building and path tomorrow though, just because it is so eerily similar!!!
Monster12, thanks for the photos and for scoping out the area for all of us. While far more rural, the abandoned buildings surrounded by overgrown brush looks like deserted, desolate areas of Detroit.
