| | | Far from being one of my most exciting exploration. It had been a long while since I had found a local abandonment where I got excited. Had a bit of a field day with my camera... Unfortunately, the main buildings are long gone, both due to demolition and a fire that happened during the demo. Still, The maintenance shop, offices, first aid building and a few other structures and several piece of machinery still stand. They give plenty to keep your camera entertained. The numerous piles of bear poop, will also make you keep an eye behind your back. I tried to cut out a lot of photos... still got 74 that made it onto this post. hope you guys / girls do not mind. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 high tech stuff 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 Neck braces... they had a whole stack of them, many like these in plastic. and a lot out of cardboard... I guess they expected a lot of serious injuries. 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 I wish people would bear proof their garbage... this was kinda sad to find

| | | Fantastic photo set and find, Rio. It's always interesting to see a location from somebody else's perspective, the differences in photo angles, what caught one person's attention as opposed to another's. Thanks again for giving me a heads up on this spot, it really made my day last weekend when I had some time to check it out. Looks like you got to spend some good time there, and it's great to see it fully lit up, I don't recognize a few of the rooms. Here are a handful of my shots from the spot, unsurprisingly a lot of our angles overlapped, I'll try to stick to unique shots. Since I crashed my bike off road in July I've been without a fully functioning camera, so I was forced to make due with what I have left, which amounted to flashless blind firing with the 5 MP front facing camera on my S7. I picked up a decent old 16 MP Nikon point and shoot for $20 on Craigslist yesterday. I'll be heading back out to the Fraser Canyon this weekend to see how it fares.

| | | Posted by EPOCH6 @SaladKing If you could find out the specs on the portable power supply that your buddy uses that would be dynamite. If I remember right these older machines pulled a lot of juice.
| He built it himself actually, he's an electrical engineer. IIRC it boils down to a lead-acid battery attached to an inverter that turns the battery's 12VDC to 12VAC, then a transformer to get that up to 120VAC. I'll ask him if he has a schematic for the circuit. I stand corrected, it's an off-the-shelf inverter he just attached a battery to, lol. It's heavy and large enough to warrant its own backpack or bag; we only bring it along if a previous trip uncovered a computer that looks operational. If the computer has any hint of rust then we don't bother because the insides are probably ruined and could damage his battery device. Older computers by themselves don't draw too much power just idling, but the CRT monitors really guzzle it. We've had more success extracting the computer's hard drive and attaching it into a dock connected to a laptop brought for the purpose. If the drive still works then we can recover data. The sites we know of aren't the sort that would have any computer equipment left but one particular mill did and one of the two machines there was fully operational!
