Nice. Looks like some massive slumping behind that portal. Is this part of the old Britannia complex?

Took the long weekend to bike down half the island. Non-Trestle, somewhat rural encounters:
This was an E&N station, I believe. In the middle of nowhere:
Who was it recently that was asking about Bamberton? There's still some shit there:

I drove down there this eve..there was an accident on the Hat (required on a long weekend)..and thought about tuning up the zip line on my HF radio. Soon perhaps.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too! |

It is very very little left. Bamberton was very large, it was an epic site.

I haven't seen any yet, no. I'm sure we will next week, but I am hoping from a distance/from inside the truck, not picking through our camping gear 
Here's another from last weekend:

I agree, from a distance is best. Or something like this:

I biked down there last week, maybe I was looking in the wrong spot but all I found was foundations and a bunch of covered up placards used during the tour a few weeks prior. The large tube type things seen in the earlier pic (nice pics, by the way) is (I'm pretty sure...) part of some sort of operation that has to do with logging, can't remember the name of the company but they're set up RIGHT next to the old Bamberton house/school/community hall foundations. The whole area has some decent security measures, but none seem to be in use at all (like, large sliding metal barriers and cams, but it would only stop motor vehicles, not bikes etc)
I'm confused though, as to whether or not the area I was in was just the Bamberton town foundations or the cement factory foundations, but if it was the cement factory there is literally nothing left.
Shit, I never even got to see it in all its glory

I went there with my 2 year old last weekend, an invite from the curator of the museum and author of Bamberton: From Dust to Bust and Back http://books.googl...EACAAJ&redir_esc=y . She gave us a private tour of the whole area, including into the actively used parts. Got some amazing pics of the quarry too. They're importing cement from ships from the mainland and transporting it through Bamberton and out. Pics and story will be up on the Haunted BC facebook site some time after I finish my Bridge River Valley trip photo sets.

You know when you and your awesome ue buddy are out having a night of ue, then you get to the main event of your epic evening, you ghost walk past security, make it to the top of the building, and you are so excited you want to crap your pants. It's great when portapotties are in place and waiting to accept your offering, it is also nice when there is a water jug to refill your water bottle at. I dub this crane "Oasis in the sky". Proper post when I get some time.
