…from the 1960s. What a brute! 34) R-E-O = Ransom Eli Olds the fellow behind REO Motors, a firm that made trucks (mostly) founded in 1905. Olds, in the 1890s, founded the company Oldsmobile, but divested himself of these holdings just prior to starting REO. Oldsmobile later became a division… (Search hits: 0 in title, 20 in body, 0 in comments.)

…the road out front aligns with the border. Old signage nearby marks underground cables and speaks of this arrangement. The entire site is ringed with razor wire, reminding us this was a military installation of great importance. Old light poles stand vigil. A radar assembly bearing, a huge piece of… (Search hits: 0 in title, 20 in body, 0 in comments.)

…it’s charming little cabins, mine ruins, an old store turned museum and oh, the vintage metal. Wander about old time railway equipment and mining gear, and take in some expats from various Canadian cities, a curious collection of retired trolleybuses. And all around it’s towering peaks, and a sense of… (Search hits: 0 in title, 24 in body, 5 in comments.)

…and broken plaster. An old stove is a nice find whicg I bet it came in handy on a cold Comrey winter. A few modern grainiers are on the property, plus one old horse shed. Some old tack was found inside the latter. Found near the house was the usual… (Search hits: 0 in title, 22 in body, 6 in comments.)

…dumped in the back forty, along with old trucks, retired tractors and other metal bits. Junk rarely left the farm. As such, many old airframes survived fairly intact. Later museums and collectors would acquire many. The Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton (a bit to the south) dates back… (Search hits: 0 in title, 8 in body, 2 in comments.)

…the old Cariboo Wagon Road can still be followed on the east side of the Fraser and near Alexandra Bridge. After well over 150 years and how amazing that it’s so easily followed. This old road connected the Lower Mainland to the Cariboo gold fields via a tortuous route of… (Search hits: 0 in title, 19 in body, 0 in comments.)

…stabilized and seem to be used for storage and such. Plus the grounds have been cleaned up, for the most part anyway. The brush has been cut down and most old junk removed. There were lots of old tires around the site before. This visit just one hanger seemed unused,… (Search hits: 0 in title, 7 in body, 4 in comments.)

…them serene and peaceful and a great subject for photography. Wander more. The ferry’s looking pretty rotten. Small trees grow in its deck. Inside, a building, an old chest full of plates. There, an old phone – another thing we gotta thing for. Uncle Ben’s? Lord, the old man love… (Search hits: 0 in title, 21 in body, 1 in comments.)

…a through style – the arches were higher and were tied together with crossbeams above the roadway. The current highway is only short distance from the structure. The old road that was bypassed, leading to and from the old bridge, can still be seen. The bridge is about 40 metres… (Search hits: 0 in title, 7 in body, 1 in comments.)

…farm house, long abandoned. Passed it a million times – thinking next visit we should contact the land owner and see if we can get in. 31) This horse seats five. This old rocking-ride is all metal and quite old. Remember these as a kid, but outside this one, it’s… (Search hits: 0 in title, 17 in body, 0 in comments.)

…is empty, having never been updated nor renovated. Strange. Even though it’s been vacant for some quarter century, the place feels older, looks older, and seems far more weathered and worn than it should be. Being unloved has a way of accelerating age I guess. On old gas-engine powered washing… (Search hits: 0 in title, 15 in body, 9 in comments.)

…keepers not writing certain things down. Spotted on the way to Queenstown, this old IHC Metro. An old photo, undated, shows a similar looking building with a different false front, but sort of close in overall configuration and layout to the current structure. A 1920s era roadster sits out front… (Search hits: 0 in title, 19 in body, 2 in comments.)

…to study. Near the south edge of town we spotted an old farm house off in a field. I love photographing them as they always have such a wonderful melancholy vibe. Nearby was an old farm truck, a Dodge B series that dates from the late 1940s or early 1950s…. (Search hits: 1 in title, 15 in body, 1 in comments.)

…to throw anything away in the old days (and where would it go anyway – no dumps back then) and the amount of stuff accumulated over time could be substantial. Here’s an vintage TV (a more modern cast-off), the old dog house, some little brown jug (unbroken too), old cars… (Search hits: 0 in title, 19 in body, 0 in comments.)
