  • We head into "The BadLands' of Alberta, looking for ghost towns and abandoned cities. After a little Google searching and some mapping things out, we have a "pretty" good idea, of where and what we're looking for. Or so we thought.

    Andrew did a great job on your theme song. Love the drone shirts and when I was younger, we used to play in the old barn and our grandparents house. I'm not sure I'd climb anything now, but I still love old barns.

    At first I thought it was the old windmill making a squeak, but was it a little white fluffy guy telling you, Dad, get back to the bus. You are truly a brave man because I'd never have gone up those stairs.

    I enjoy the diversity of landscapes that are found throughout Canada. Years ago I discoverd an old abandoned log house with a dirt basement with a cold storage in it. There wasn't much to the house, it was quite decapitated but the cold storage looked untouched and was full of real old canning jars with glass and galvanized metal lids. There wereb.ue green and clear glass jars with stamped Beaver, Crown and other names. There was a large array of pickles, jams, relishes, etc...that were were many long years passed their expiry. I guess nobody thought of checking the trap door to the story as the place was quite creepy and dangerous looking. We emptied out the jars and I took them home to wash them. I used those jars for about twenty-five to thirty years until the kids left home and I moved to Fort Mac, AB. I do know they were rare and collectable but when you need to move quickly there's no time to fuss over such things. We didn't find any ghosts there but such places always leave me feeling sad and pensive. I can't help but wonder about what tragedy or exploit drew the occupants to abandon their home, why was it left unoccupied and left to decay? It's great inspiration for a writer's imagination . Enjoy the hunt Brent but keep watch for those rotted floor boards and beams, the old wells are dangerous also as many are covered over with debris, rotted boards and vegetation if out door.

    Awnings are a big help. If only these old buildings could talk. So cool, I imagine the families that lived there and what possibly happened to them. I am a story writer sort of. Loved it Brent, good one!! Listen to that dog of yours, he has lots to say. Stairways were skinny back then.
