“This truck is hidden in the Beaverdam Reservoir property on the west side of the reservoir. I was walking the trail enjoying the autumn colors when something caught my eye deep in the woods. Further exploration through the thorns and brambles revealed this old, forgotten flatbed farm truck rotting away. With the reservoir property being surrounded by the urban sprawl that is eastern Loudoun, this truck took me back to the early days of Loudoun County. The truck was probably used to farm the area when Loudoun was still a rural area. Or maybe it was used in the reservoir’s construction back in the 1940s. We will never know.”
