We visited the well-known RCAF Canso bomber wreck yesterday, just outside of Tofino. The plane crash is amazing to see, very intact for a plane that dropped into thick tree cover. The hike is something else, too: crossing through a bog, with knee-deep mud in many places. Rubber boots strongly recommended. Unfortunately, with so many visitors making their own routes, the vegetation is getting trashed from the lack of a proper pathway. Very popular spot, but well worth it.

Here's the archived "Crashed Bomber" thread for this topic. Looking at those photos, there are a few things missing from the wreck now (notably the forward cockpit ring/ pilot's chair). It's sad that the wreck has been so heavily vandalized and robbed over the years. Who would haul a pilot's seat out through that bog?

The hike in to the crash site takes you up to the top of a hill where an abandoned building sits. It's a concrete structure, lots of tagging and damage, trees growing up around it. Interesting- but what was it?

The main equipment room had finished walls, baseboards, insulated connectors in the walls, and lots of conduit in the floor.

I found this photo. Apparently, this was an old Dept of Transportation transmitter site (not part of the Pinetree line). It was paired with a receiver site (not visited) on another hilltop that sits north of Radar hill.

What a difference 50 years makes! Totally overgrown now, not even visible on Google maps.

(edit: fixed photo link)

My "newest" was far too long ago (October) and that's terrible.

Wasn't too high up, but going by the site now it looks like it goes even higher! Or maybe that's just from looking at it from ground level... Either way, fun trip up. Worth the view!

Went mining again. Found a neat abandoned mill concentrator with a few big, rusty machines inside.

This is the first urbex I've done and it was sort of an accident, as I stumbled on Keith Lynn Alternative School. So I just took what pictures I could but didn't enter as I wasn't prepared with any equipment.

1. A pile of wood sits by a single office chair.

A bit of history: this is the "alternative school" on Vancouver's north shore built for kids for whom "traditional education" wasn't working for whatever reason, often juvenile delinquents. The last graduating class was in 2012.

Story about last graduating class: http://www.nsnews....-the-last-1.366633

The old school was purchased by the City for 5 million dollars and is being demolished to make room for new freeway. The school sits mere meters from Highway 1, the transcanada highway.

story about clearing the school out: http://www.nsnews....ool-site-1.1344072

2. Anyone from Vancouver will recognize these "fences for rent."

3. Either they were building this addon modular building when they closed the school, or the siding was stripped, presumably because it was still usable somewhere else.

5. This looks like a little assembly area, maybe used by kids to hang out outside in an area sheltered from the very substantial rain on the north shore. You can see my transportation in the lower corner.

6. Reverse view of the little assembly area, overlooking the school.

7. These pictures were taken April 20, and it didn't look like much demolishing was going on. Now a month later, I wonder if it's still there?

9. Hard to see it, but there are clear signs of entry on the right-hand door. One of you guys I am sure.

Was in the area and decided to checkout Ioco, Port Moody. A little eerie seeing so many houses all boarded up in one area like that.

Out for a bike ride, and nearly blew right past this familiar place. I knew it was in the area, but didn't bother with directions before leaving.

Old sawmill ruin, Headquarters.

Out getting beat up by the bush. Afternoon adventures deserve longer write-ups, but here's an lazy photo.

Wish there were more accessible roofs/less construction site security around.

Just updating my map of the city drains. Waterfall at the top of this one (only about 150m in) and I wasn't decked in water gear so I backtracked to the nearest access.

Popped out a manhole and re-seated it solo for the first time. Nobody around when I came out, no harm done. Stashed my helmet and orange high-vis (manhole ninja) vest and rode the bike out of there.

@Darkzero if you're reading this I'd love to come see some D'edmonton drains some time. ;)

Oh, I'm reading this for sure. I just PM you. My days of Edmonton are coming to a short end. I'm going to be living in Halifax Aug 1. Looking forward to see what the east coast has to offer.

I wanted to come up with a good sink pun. However, I'm feeling drained.
