The mystery around this unimaginable huge pile of rusty tin cans is better known as the history of the old ranch just a mile from here: In 1934, when the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam started, this place was the site of a large encampment of employees who worked at the dam. There was also a kitchen and a mess hall. Back in the day, nobody cared about the garbage or leave no trace, so they just threw the cans out the windows. It must be thousands of them.
