Ultimate BC UE Heaven

Hey all,
I don't live in BC, but I used to work there for the Coast Guard. That gave me the awesome oportunity to visit a place called Ocean Falls on the Central Coast of BC. This place used to have a population of about 5000, but now is home to 52 hydroplant workers.

Given the decay of the area, there are amazing places to explore. There are endless abandoned townhouses, an abandond apartment building, an abandoned hotel complete with bowling alley, an abandoned saw mill, and many other treats.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures while I was there, and it I think its only accessible by ferry, but it is definately worth checking out if you're up for a UE holiday.

You're only as young as who you feel!
tek!

I have heard of this place and seen pictures, I believe there is even a Wikipedia entry for it with a couple pics. Surprising they would build an apartment building way out in the middle of nowhere. I'm in to sailing and boating so someday i might check it out! Where is it exactly?

There is a set of pictures on the Wraiths forum that Viper posted from his last trip. He apparently has a huge number of photos that haven't been posted yet.

I've heard it's for sale, the whole town. Almost no residents, except sometimes bears wandering around, hangin in street, lookin to kick some tourist butt. Or not? (Maybe they just need a hug)

Ferry access? I think not, but could be wrong. Not B.C. Ferries, definitely not. Awesome UE no doubt.

Ocean Falls may be reached via BC Ferries.

yes, you can get to Ocean falls Via the "discovery coast" route, on the Queen of Chilliwack. It even has showers to get all that nasty asbestos off. Sounds like a great summer vacation UE.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too!

The Town That Time Forgot

"There is no place on the planet like Kitsault, BC. A complete town nestled in a breathtaking deepwater fiord tucked behind the Alaska panhandle. It now lies abandoned, complete with paved streets, a hospital, shopping center, movie theatre, indoor swimming pool and housing. All that is missing is the people."

Good one, ya Kitsault. That's the town I mistook for Ocean Falls. Fairly sure there is no B.C. Ferries going there. I think there is a guy who flies people to remote abandoned areas. He documents them, and is an airborne explorer, I guess.
