| | | Living around Courtenay B.C, there isn't that much to explore. No old schools or hospitals, no abandoned factories. The only places that spring to mind are the "Forbidden Plateau", and an old theater that burnt down called "The Palace". Any explorers that live around here that could point me in the direction of someplace relatively close to courtenay? (Preferably between Cumberland and Campbell river, Which includes Cumberland, Courtenay, Merville, Black Creek and Campbell River). [last edit 1/31/2008 5:34 AM by Mason - edited 1 times]

| | | Anything that sparks your interest. Just go out and if you see something that you find interesting, check it out! It does not always have to be asylums and the like.

| | | I was looking at a pipe when I went out for lunch yesterday, So I'm probably going to check that out. I think there's a shutdown elementary school near my house too. Guess I've got a little work to do.

| | | Is Drac's Castle still around? Tried to find it again last time I was there (2 years ago) but there was so much new development I barely recognized the area and could find no sign of it.

| | | Sorry to necropost but you don't have to explore old stuff. You could explore construction sites. You could also explore active sites, like me. The downside is that it's harder to take pictures.

| | | I smell a 'Peeling Paint/Wheelchair/Busted Piano Free Zone.' Congratulations...you're an original. Grab a camera and go out and take pictures of stuff you find interesting in and around where you live. Be a tourist in your own town, and you'll discover things you never noticed before. Post the pics when you get a chance.

| | | You live in Courtenay and you can't find anything cool to investigate? Wow... I grew up in Courtenay and I've been gone now since 2001, but I can think of so many cool places to investigate... it almost makes me want to go home just so I can! You're right, Forbidden Plateau and The Palace Theatre were cool places, but have you gone to Drac's Castle and explored? How about Stotan Falls, Puntledge River, Tsolumn River? Mount Washington is pretty cool too. So are the Coal Pits, Cumberland Museum, Cumberland Auction, Waverly Hotel, Courtenay Hotel, the many, many schools with lots of history (Vanier, Lake Trail, Arden, Highland, to name a few). I'd keep going but I think that should do ya for now! I hope you have fun exploring, and let us all know what you find along the way! [last edit 6/12/2008 9:43 PM by baby_petri - edited 1 times]

| | | Let me put it succinctly. (And i was born in Comox, so i can). You are sitting smack dab in the middle of a place full of massive amounts of ruins. Sure, most of them are overgrown, but the Island is the longest continually inhabited place in BC from what i remember. Cumberland itself is built on top of a massive network of mining tunnels. They had troubles back in the 90's with snakes coming out of peoples taps because the pipes for houses ran through said mines, and snakes were finding ways into them. Pay a visit to a few archives and museums, and then come back here and say there's nowhere to explore, i did it from the time i was 3 years old with my parents, to the time i moved away, and boy did i see some amazing sites =D
