Abandoned Foundations in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This is just a stone foundation which is nearly invisible to passers by, except when on foot. Just a few meters off the North West side of the road stands a wall as well as some sort of below ground level cistern.

I believe this was the barn, and the actual house foundation is close by, just off the trail opposite the rusted out car. You can easily see the stone gate posts which would have marked the entrance to the property off Twyn Rivers as that is the entrance to Rouge Park's Orchard Trail.

The abandoned car is along a more Westward path branching off from the Orchard Trail, which probably would have belonged to the last owners of the property. It is the remains of a 1951 Kaiser Sedan, which was a classy car at the time.

So far, all I've found in the area are the barn, house, car exterior and frame.

I'm going back to this area tomorrow, and will try to find more ruins. Trailpro, those are the only parts left of the car, someone must have dragged the frame out to sell as scrap metal. I'm not the one so smart as to identify it though, that was my husband. His family owns Roblin's Garage (a location on OAP in Prince Edward County) so he knows all about classic cars.

I'll bet money that there's a geocache here. Looks like the perfect place.

Can you get more pics of the car too or is that all that was left of it?
