We visited the scrap yard of Coronado Wrecking and Salvage, here in Albuquerque. They demolish and haul away buildings (or what-have-you) and many of the materials end up in their salvage yard, which is open to the public six days a week. It's a bit hard to find but once you know the way it's quite easy, simply sign in at their office an explore the yard in your vehicle or on foot. I went with some friends and classmates we were looking for steel tubing, chain, sheet metal, and inspiration. We found most of these things, and more:
 |
| The yard is quite large. |
 |
| They have some great views. |
See much more after the break:
 |
| They had plenty of large timber |
 |
| As well as structural steel. |
 |
| An expansive collection of machines, like compressors... |
 |
| generators... |
 |
| pumps... |
 |
| and axles. |
 |
| Thy have large tanks. |
 |
| Very large tanks. |
 |
| Something hit this pretty hard to cause that dent, scrape ad partially sheared rivet. |
 |
| If you get tired you can take a seat. |
 |
| Or visit the cafeteria. |
