On Sunday April 25th, 2010 I was traveling north on a little highway NC 16 about 30 miles north of Wilkesboro, NC. I saw what looked like a parking lot full of white vans and didn’t think much of it as I drove by. However, about an hour later on my way back it struck me as very odd so I decided to stop and look a little closer. This was originally a Christmas tree lot and the owner must have leased it to someone during the Christmas tree off-season for them to park all these vans. I did some quick counting while parked. There were 7 rows of 30 per row + 30 or 40 more not in the rows at the back and that’s how I came up with approximately 250 + vans!!! These vans were all the same, brand spanking new with the window stickers still on them and yellow numbers written in yellow grease pencil on the windshields. They were behind a fence so I couldn’t get any closer than this without climbing the fence. I wanted to climb the fence and get a VIN off one of them and find out who owned them but I had no idea who may be monitoring the lot. It was broad daylight and I didn’t want someone to come question me.
I got to thinking on my way home…. Why would there be 250 brand new vans with no tags parked out in the middle of nowhere?? Transporting a couple thousand people and gear without anyone noticing or becoming suspicious could be a possibility. I’m just having a hard time coming up with some “NORMAL” reason why all these brand new vans would be parked out in such a remote location.

Dunno if it makes it better or worse, but I did some poking around. About 32 miles North of Wilkesboro on NC16 is Jefferson NC. small town. But one of the companies in Jefferson is American Emergency Vehicles. http://www.aev.com/
They build ambulances, and one of their standards is based of the Ford E350. They could have gotten a REALLY large order, but i have no idea why someone would want that many small ambulance-type vehicles.
