Industrial Artifacts

Though we live close to town, we are surrounded by a lot of trails. Some of these have direct routes, such as the set of stairs that creates a safe connection between the high sand bluffs and downtown. Others hug along long stretches of chain link fence. Sometimes they run in two parallel paths, such as the off-roadways and ATV trails. And still others wander.

Picking our way between these trails, we found an array of industrial artifacts. At least half of them left us puzzeling, "What do you think this does?" If I can't figure them out, I like to think they are some part of a chairlift.
