Last weekend, we tried to follow the herdpath up Seward (the one that starts from the Ward brook truck trail). We forgot to cross the brook, so we lost the path somehow and ended up bushwacking on what I guess were the upper northeastern slopes. At around 4000' (I can't tell exactly where as I didn't have my gps with me to record the exact location and we were in the clouds), we found big chunks of metal near a small mossy cliff. They looked like metal sheets with holes, a bit like the hood of a Jeep. I didn't take pictures as I was completely soaked and quickly getting cold, nearing hypothermia, and I had to quickly take a bearing to get down in the valley. Taking pictures was the last thing I thought of at that point, sadly :-(
Were they remnants of a crashed plane? Of wood cutting machinery, even at 4000'? Somebody heard about a crash there? Better yet, someone already saw these artefacts (I found boot prints in the moss on our way up, so I'm not the first bushwacker to get there recently)? What I saw Sunday is somehow haunting me today
