Recommended Posts

Note: We have a trip planned back to Yorke Island OCT 19, 2013. We are leaving from Kelsey Bay, By Sayward on Vancouver Island. If your on Vancouver Island you can PM for details if you are interested. Got about 2-3 seats left open but its first come first served. Cheers!

 

 

Hey all,

 

Its been a while since ive added some photos to this section. Just wanted to share some of my photos from earlier this year on a WW2 fort built on a tiny island just off Vancouver Island here in British Columbia, Canada.

 

I hope you all enjoy these photos, this was the best exploration location ive ever been to so far!

 

Chris,

Very true! I ended up going when it rained all day :( Heading back later this month and hopefully it will be a better day!

Great photos. What amazes me is a lot of the stuff built in the war is still here almost ready to use quality today, yet it takes 12 weeks for them to do a 50yard section of road these days and it falls to bits in the same amount of time.

Great pictures. I wish there was places like that near me. Maybe a broom and dust pan, a couple gallons of paint, a window or door here and there and I could call that home....The way the world is going it would be more comfortable with all the things that I mentioned AND a 50 cal. machine gun in one of the windows.

There is a group that goes to clean the place up from time to time, its location makes it tricky to get over there at will. Which is actually a good thing, thats why its still so untouched unlike most other historic places. a few of the buildings are still plenty dry enough to stay in as well :)
