If I told you what I did to get this shot, even seasoned mattress hunters might think I was crazy. Let me just say I may have to throw away that pair of shoes!

You my dear have earned your spot in MTA hall of fame. Plus the poo-shoe must be shrined. Or on E-bay.

I didn't want to have to explain myself to the police cruising the area, especially with poo on my shoe!

Well ummmm...I took an exit and drove down this road that was washed into a gully by the rain or something...I got out and walked, climbed up some hillsides and through some trees...dogs came running out of people's yards and barked at my heels...I got back on the freeway and turned around at the next exit, drove back down and tried it from the other side, past the road closure...I climbed up + over a chain link fence by an overpass bridge...I stepped in a pile of soggy human feces and nearly slipped and fell in it...I dodged through trees on the hillside trying not to be spotted from the road...I finally climbed over the guardrail and stood by the side of the highway looking up and down for the mattress, only to find that it was on the other side of the overpass...I went back the way I came, carefully avoiding the human feces, climbed back down the mud hill and went up the other side, where I hung out over the edge of the guardrail and got this shot. Crazy but fun.
