Somebody missing a tailwheel?

[Student BCP]

My dad has been cutting wood the last couple days just east of Cascade maybe ten miles, and on his way up this morning he found a tailwheel laying by the road. Wasn't there yesterday, so it had to have come off yesterday afternoon or sometime before eight this morning. I'll try to get a pic up of it later, but my guess is somebody must have hit a pothole or rock or something on takeoff, cause it still has the spring and cables and part of the tubing attached. Just wondering if anybody on here was missing their tailwheel, I know where it is lol. Try to get a pic tomorrow sometime.

Perhaps it came from D.B. Cooper's escape plane. Any $20 lying around?

I once found one side of a Cubs wing struts stashed in a tree in a remote place where there used to be an airstrip I bet someone had fun!

StudentBCP and I spoke today; I'll pick it up in a few weeks and ship it to Bobby. It is way cool his dad found it and even cooler you guys posted it found. I know Bobby will really appreciate you both for helping him out.

Thanks,
Mike
