The next morning, Peter picks us up at our hotel for the homeward journey.
We drove back to Totowa and retrieved the trailer and set the GPS for Marlboro. Seems like a pretty little town, not far from the Hudson - quiet - nice. We drive down a leafy lane into a valley...and before is is the most incredible scene. I cannot believe I didn't capture this on film myself - it was...apocalyptic. An ocean of wrecked cars spread out over the floor of the valley.
Welcome to Copart Salvage Auto Auctions.
Forklifts zip around like bumper cars, shuttling wrecked cars and trucks onto the backs of flatbed trucks, into eighteen-wheelers, onto dump trucks. The place is a hive of activity. Peter goes inside the office to process his paperwork.
When he emerges, we discover that there is not just one vehicle to be taken back to Toronto, but two.
