Hey all, I've been exploring on Vancouver Island since i was in high school and I never really took good pictures, I'm no professional photographer and I have a cheap Canon Camera.
Anyways Not sure if this place has been posted, i checked the DB and forums and found nothing.
This house is just one of many abandoned houses in Jordan River.
It's easy to access but very unstable inside; I didn't go to unsafe areas as I was alone.
Jordan river was once a thriving community and has since become almost completely abandoned it was populated by fishermen and miners. Back in 1963 a copper mine flooded causing the salmon (which supported the community) to have 30 times the maximum allowable standard of copper. The town of Jordan river was established sometime around the 1900s its population began an exodus after the aforementioned situation. There is one resident currently living there from what i could pull up and I know that the province has ordered a clean up of the mine in 2016. But nothing has happened yet.
For now these beautiful ocean front homes slowly succumb to the elements and the vandals.

Sorry for the sideways pictures I corrected them on my PC but when I uploaded them it switched them back....
If there are any people on Vancouver Island who'd like to join me I know about 100-150 abandoned places on the island. (some have been demolished I fear though)
