Some shots from my trip across BC last weekend, Fraser Valley to Jasper, AB. Definitely some familiar locations here to anyone who has traveled the Fraser Canyon.

That truck looks like it's in great condition for an abandoned truck from the 20's or 30's .

Pictures 13 and 14 are actually from a fake ghost town called Deadman Junction between Cache Creek & Kamloops, built from the ground up by the man living on the property. Some years ago you could drive in any day of the week and he would show you around and chat about the project, nowadays it looks very close to opening as a money-grab tourist attraction. There are already signs up demanding payment prior to taking pictures, didn't actually notice until I read the sign in the photo below a day later. 1.

Some of you may recognize this place. I wasn't able to get many pictures of this location as it was an unplanned visit and I didn't want to overstay my welcome, but now that I've had some time to find out a bit more about its history I may return with some questions. This house has caught my eye several times while exploring the Fraser Canyon but I hadn't stopped to look around until earlier this month. I had several more stops planned along my route so my intentions were to quickly get a few pictures, hit the road, research it after the fact, and return later. I had a long drive to Jasper, AB ahead of me and decided before leaving that I'd divide the drive over two days, giving me plenty of time to explore along the way, stopping halfway to spend the first night at my uncle's place in Barriere. My uncle has been a trucker his entire life and has driven this stretch of highway more times than he could ever count, so I showed him the pictures and asked him if he knew anything about the place. His eyes lit up and he explains to me that decades ago a very rich man lived there and that the odd structures in the backyard were actually built to cage exotic animals. The guy built a private zoo in his backyard, complete with lions, tigers, and other exotic predators. Nothing ever came of it commercially and eventually the man died, the backyard is now empty and untouched and the house is occupied by others. I'm hoping to return this summer to see if I can get any more history out of the current owners. 1.

I'll add some photos from my friend and I's first explore of the year which was at the beginning of February. The place was trashed pretty good but was fun to find nevertheless.

Can you imagine if the people that were busy smashing and spray painting were active UER members instead, what a community we'd have? Faster discovery, more preservation and enjoyment..
