Posted by -Rio- I wish we had the quality and quantity of abandoned places like in europe, it is hard to stay motivated around Vancouver. Cant keep going back to the same spots, and many of my favourites have been torn down

Fortunately (and unfortunately) for me I've never been across the oceans, so I have nothing to compare the homeland to in terms of exploration quality, I have yet to explore anything outside of southwestern Canada.
BC hasn't grown stale for me yet. I've only been at this for a few years now and I've still got a long (and continuously growing) list of locations all around the province that I'm eager to check out. Warehouses, industrial plants, and office buildings aren't really my thing anyway, I think I can go at least another couple of years fully satisfied with roaming remote highways dotted with old cabins, mines, farms, homesteads, churches, scrapyards, and shops. The further it is from an urban center the more interesting it is to me.
Getting into motorcycling earlier this year has breathed new life into exploration for me and has opened up so many more opportunities to just take off in any direction and get lost. I'll be getting a new bike early next year that is more capable of long range highway trips, very excited for riding season. I think it would be awesome if we could get a few members together for a 2 day 2018 UER motorcycle trip from the Valley up into northern BC and back with a collectively planned route through a bunch of our favorite spots.
