| | | The gas detector thing might come in handy, but we've got Tanuki. He's all Professional Scientist and shit, so if there's something sniffy down below...er, you know what I mean...Tanuki will tell us. Headquarters sounds interesting, and I've been meaning to head up Island for a better look. I hear there all sorts of these abandoned Company Towns up the coast, and on the mainland, and I'd wager that there are some as yet undiscovered. Summer time is what...kinda sorta maybe around the corner...maybe sorta kinda we can plan something for the warmer months. As for the tunnels in Victoria, and, more important the HBC Warehouse tunnel, where there's a will, there's a way. I don't offer that as false optimism...those who have dedicated themselves to this search are close to the rabbit hole.

| | | Posted by danbar101 as much as you guys hate gadgets another gadget i bring with me to vic is a portable gas detector to many gasses are invisible and have no smell with all the cars driving above carbon monoxide can kill you in minutes of being in a tunnel, who knows what else is down there, especialy in drains.
| I wouldn't say we hate gadgets, I don't at least. They just have to really be needed to justify packing them around, or the expense for the electronic stuff. I looked into a camera on a wire at the Spy Store in Vancouver. Way over priced and not very good quality. I stuff my Sony point and shoot into small spaces all the time. Pop the flash and who knows what will show up. It usually works well. Safety is no place to save money or skimp though. On that note, could you post a photo, price, and the brand name and info of your gas detector gadget? Thanks. A while back you talked about that island, off the northern end of Vancouver Island, (forgot the name) did you ever find the photos? The town that got destroyed is very interesting. If it's the one I'm thinking of, near Cumberland? Supposedly the government was going to restore it as a tourist town. They were considering that town or another in the interior of B.C. Guess which one happened. Barkerville. Now world famous. A mistake not to save them both. I think the locals tore down the one on the island around 1969, after losing to Barkerville.

| | | i dunno, its my old mans gas monitor, he uses it in the mine. as for stuff on the north island. not much, that island near sayward (Yorke Island) that used to have tunnels, baracks, gun implacements and such is cool it had Two 4-inch guns which were temporarily emplaced at Seymour Narrows in 1914. In WWII this was the examination battery for Johnstone Strait, armed with two 6-inch guns originally from Stanley Park Battery, Vancouver, that replaced two earlier 4.7-inch quick-firing guns in 1942. The examination gun was a 6-pounder gun. Two 40mm Bofors AA guns were here 1942 - 1945. Three searchlights were emplaced here. This battery protected the "backdoor" northern approach to Vancouver and Victoria.the photos are in a shoe box somewhere from my last trip, when i find them i will scan them and upload them. not much for UE up here, there was an abandon hospital up past browns bay, untill it burnt down... cfb holberg used to be an airforce base near the town of holberg on the way to winter harbor it was used during ww2. the radar domes still exist and the runways as well as a hanger and old offices i believe, at a time the base had a bowling alley and dance hall. up near coal harbor there is an abandon indian reservation, old houses from the 70s boarded up. tahsis up past gold river is virtualy abandon for the most part accept for the general store and mobile home park, after the mill closed the town died most of the buildings are abandon. in cumberland there is an abandon two story post office with a safe and basement, its old. made of limestone blocks. there are coal mines in cumberland that if you ask some old timers they will tell you where to find places to enter. i dont suggest it, its risky. this site tells you how to get into them http://mining.mosa...ert.williams2.html there used to be another town called beven just up behind cumberland now all the remains is small mental home and a massive abandon pump house that used to house massive raves in the summer. east thurlow an island north of quadra has an old abandon fishing resort from the 50s and 60s john wayne used to stay there and go fishing, its kind of like the shinning. this is a large entry and i could keep going but i think this is where i end it. whens the next vic meeting? perhaps i will drive down, or catch the train.

| | | Posted by walbot Teaching people how to safely steal copper wire from buildings is a part of UE? Stealing or causing damage to buildings tends to get them locked up, and who likes that? Looking for and exploring the tunnels of Victoria is UE, stealing is just stupid. If someone is dumb enough to steal copper wiring from old buildings, they should expect to get shocked. Just my opinion.
| Agreed. I believe there's some sort of opinion re: taking/stealing in the UER FAQ section. Also, if one were to post a 'how to safely remove etc.' in UER, there would be an issue of liability, should one get arrested/injured/killed whilst removing/stealing that which is not theirs. Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
