Burnt out and WHO Z
< on 6/8/2010 3:24 AM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
Went for a walk around after checking out the graffiti on the rails to Lemieux when what do I see nestled behind some saplings and chain linked off but some ruins. Explore? Don't mind if I do!

Pretty cool, you can even get into a small section of the basement through a ground level window but there really isn't much to see down there. There was a little person-nest made up behind some rubble in the back, so if you check it out don't be surprised by signs of life.

It was kind of weird when I made it all the way around and found this shaggin' wagon, at first I was super excited because I thought someone had dumped it but hearing voices made me decide to stay away since whoever stashes their ride in the greenery by some ruins probably isn't expecting company at 9AM.
All this to say, I never got to answer the question, who 'ze?

1.


2.


3.


4. These coat hangers were about 9 feet up.


5. I guess it's probably weirder about that chair up in the wall though. Maybe angry giants razed this place?


6.Saggy basement roof, probably not the most stable place to hang out.


7. Remaining stone window arch


8. Old-school plaster wall slats.


9. Random Hippie Van Hideout

Whoa? What the hell??? Is this on the Ontario or Quebec end? I'd thought I'd seen everything around there...

On the road to the Lemieux Island Filtration plant. Not on the Island, just right before the bridge to it. It was a cottage of some historical value apparently then was burnt down some time in the 1990's - 2000's.

Hey, how is that closed restaurant building doing on Bate Island (Island park bridge area)? Did it finally get torn down?

Thanks, I'll check that out sometime.

As for Bate Island... I went there once in a blizzard, and in every lot, there was a car or two, running, with a male sitting behind the wheel. It seemed kinda creepy since there's about 8 lots, a lot of guys apparently waiting around.

I got nervous, figured someone sort of drug deal was going down. Didn't think standing around with my big white Canon 70-200 lens would be a smart thing to do; I left.

A few months later I mentioned this strange occurrence to a friend, who immediately burst out laughing at me:
Apparently it's a gay men's meat-market or hook-up point.

Who knew?

LOL!!!

When I was showing another explorer the GG drain I told him I'd meet up with him in Rockliffe Park near the entrance to the drain. So he dutifully parked his car in the end parking lot at the park, sat for a while waiting for me. He got creeped out by the single men sitting in cars so he went for a stroll in the woods. When we finally met up near the drain entrance he looked a bit like the Pied Piper with this entourage of gay men following through the trails in the forest. Perhaps it was the fact that he was wearing rubber boots...

And I thought meeting up with strange men I met on the internet to explore abandoned places was already weird... Hey, maybe that's what WHO Z was up to!
It sure was the right kind of vehicle.

oh man, so many jokes about entering tunnels :p

It was torn down around the time they rebuilt the bridge.

WHO Z Update: Randomly saw this guy hanging out in his van in the parking lot of Chapters Gloucester, seemed to be making use of Starbucks' wireless connection on his laptop. A Prize for the first person to bring me a picture!
