Thoughts ? I mean I’ll be back. Might even harvest that truck for yard art.
ETA: Better idea yet - turn it into a functional and safe dog house.

Part of the damage from the flood in Rapid City, SD, 1972. I wasn't there and I didn't know any of the people who died in the flood.
The Black Hills Flood of 1972, also known as the Rapid City Flood, was the most detrimental flood in South Dakota history, and one of the deadliest floods in U.S. history. The flood took place on June 9–10, 1972[1] in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota. 15 inches (380 mm) of rain in a small area over the Black Hills caused Rapid Creek and other waterways to overflow. Severe flooding of residential and commercial properties in Rapid City occurred when Canyon Lake Dam became clogged with debris and failed in the late evening hours of June 9 resulting in 238 deaths and 3,057 injuries.[2] Over 1,335 homes and 5,000 automobiles were destroyed. The value of property damage was estimated to be over US$160 million in 1972 dollars ($1.17 billion in 2023 dollars[3]). Flooding also occurred in Battle, Spring, Bear Butte, and Boxelder creeks.[4]

What you circled isn’t poison ivy aka Toxicodendron radicans. Except the poison ivy species has now been divided into 3 species by botanist. Depending on where you live in the world. But, all 3 species are vines. They have 3 leaves on a stem, leaves of 3, let it be? Unless your in a Bush beer commercial.
That plant looks stiffer, like something in the rose family. Just a guess, don’t think it grows here in the south. Probably common up there, Michigan right? Can't see the stem well enough to know if its a vine or fast growing tree sprout.
Below is virginia creeper aka Parthenocissus quinquefolia, that’s a mouth full!!! It has 5 leaves on a stem. I circled them in orange.
I see sassafras, bottom edge right, under the bump in the line.
edit to add... vir. creeper can cause a rash on some people in the fall, when it's leaves go red. I read once it caused contact dermatitis in 30% of the population. Funny, its very astringent-drying, can be used to treat poison ivy. I'll pass, plantain is far better for pi.

Yall made me look it up!
Wish i had a better tree book though. Anyway...The circled leaves are 'pinnately compound'. (and it almost looks like small thorns on the jointed stem).
Pi leaves are 'palmately compound'. Different leaf structure. (v.creeper too)

Monarch caterpillars are one of the few creatures that can eat the milkweed leaves. The flowers attract all kinds of pollinators including other butterflies, bumblebees, honey and native bees, hummingbird moths, and others. I love the flowers and have three good sized patches going now.
Not what I would call "proficient" but I can manage an 18, I prefer 10.

what really matters is why is that old ford still sitting thereWhat you circled isn’t poison ivy aka Toxicodendron radicans.
