I used to live in Kamloops for several years. PLEASE tell me you will check out Padova. http://www.tnrd.bc...?control=Locations
Keep in mind last time I was there, there was a live-in security guard and silent alarms in the larger building. Even if you don't go in, you can walk along the public "beach" road beside Padova and see a good 1/4 of the place from there.
Too bad I'm not there, would love to meet up with you.

I'm leaving Toronto in the next couple days and heading that way, looks like a wicked spot to camp overnight at.
P.S. nice one on the drain, I don't think i would have the patience to make it thru the low rocky part!

It looks like an awesome location other then the rough access. I'm really diggin' the light-painting and graffiti in shot #10. I wish we had wild graffiti like that round my neck o' the woods. I'd love to try some photos like yours.

Nice shots! I was just in parts of this system this past summer. Did you hit up the section with the cement and boulder floor? Would have been near the head of the pipe system. Check out the entry (and my photos) in the location DB: http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=30888
Weird that gated-off pipe. My theory is that it wasn't seeing any flow, and the city gated it off to prevent habitation. But there might be a more interesting story, anyone know..?

I think that is the same section that they just replaced. I when thru a few days before and it was all new concrete sections. When i went back with the camera,they had put in tons of small boulders in it.

Went back to play with some burning steel wool. My first time trying it. I like it, but I will have a better set up to spin it next time.

Not Peterson creek, but figured id stick this on this post since its the same area.
Went for a sneak peek in one of the many storm drain in town... I need to find a few fellow explorers. I did not venture far inside of this one since i was alone. This drain is begging to be hike up the pipe and slide down on a small inflatable mat. Who needs a water park when u have this!

I just got back from a quick drive by there. That place got me the most excited since my explorations in Germany. Looks like a one stop shop.

Nifty. Always wondered about the 'other' drains in 'Loops. I guess this is the one up by the mall (or up the dry ravine from Petersen)? Should be a few good pipes around there, given the steep slopes, large roads and sprawling impermeable pavements. Keep it coming!

Yes to this, nicely done. Goes under railway tracks? Obviously well traveled!

Under the road and the railway. The entrance i went in had no graffiti or tags at all, I though it was weird. Only once you get by the river do the graffiti appears. I guess kids do not like getting wet feet.

Found my way past the gated entrance just to find a cinder block wall at the end... not too far from the entrance. A little bit of a disappointment.
