Can I count a dump truck as a wreck?

Like the fish house I posted in the challenge... not a floating vessel at one time, but a definite honorable mention.

I think we should fine tune the rules of little bit....... things like the fish house and dump truck need to put points on the board. Open up the challenge a little bit and get some more interest and enthusiasm going. Maybe turn it into a poll and people can vote on the best dive site or discovery..........

Im good with that. After all, the purpose is to generate interest in new dive sites. Doug can you post some info in this thread about location & copy a few pics/video?

As of 6-28-2010, here is the updated score card so far:

AandA (Art)----------1 boat
Shooter (Nate)-------1 boat
doug67 (Doug)-------1 boat
Detectorguy (John)---3 boats and 1 fishhouse
lahrcm (Curtis)-------1 dumptruck

I am not exactly sure whether Curtis or Doug get credit for the dumptruck so you might need to armwrestle for it.

We'll have to get Doug to weigh in on this. Technically I dove it before him but he gave me the tip about it, plus some other divers actually found it. I think Doug has the line on a different one that he should get credit for.

Well, Curtis and I found more than we said on Sat. We went to the dump truck and looked and took pics and then continued along the wall at 100ft and we found a van that was stolen from the city of crosby about 50 to 75ft north east of the dump truck. I dont know if we where the first to find it(I think we were) but it was pretty cool finding something like that. I wish you would have found it John........it would look good in your anchor garden. ;D

Hopfully Curtis can post some more pics and vid of both of them tomorrow.

Did the van have a Scooby Doo logo on the side... "those meddling kids" ;D I need to get decent directions from the dump truck. I thought NE would put you in shallower water, unless the bottom of the wall runs toward the NE. Was it right at the bottom of the wall?

Right at the bottom. You will go down the wall and it will level off at 100ft. The dump truck should be there a little ways from the wall. Then head NE along the wall, still on the flat in 100ft and you cant miss it. Have fun.
