The Friends went out there twice in 2007, we went out there before session D and remember literally crawling through the ashes looking for hardware, I think we picked up almost a ton,(all my truck could carry) on the first trip. Later in the fall after work sessions the Friends came back with trailers and got most of the big hardware that was still usable in some future project, so I seriously doubt that much hardware went to the dump. There are a lot of cars running now on the CATS that are now complete thanks to the hardware we got from the burned out cars. Thanks guys!
