Urbex: Lost City of Paris Mine Tipple

I had my heart set on locating the abandoned City of Paris/No. 7 mine. Not Paris France, Paris BC. Never hard of it? Neither had I until I moved to Big White, BC for the summer and was looking for another urbex adventure. Development of the City of Paris Mine began in 1898 and by …

Urbex: The Little Ghost Town of Insinger, Saskatchewan

I was driving to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (say that 10 times fast) to visit some friends. As I traveled down Highway 16, about 55 km on the other side of Yorkton (from Manitoba) when a domed roof of an old Ukrainian Orthodox church peek out on the right side just over the horizon. It was fairly …

Urbex: Exploring a Well Known Meat Processing Plant!

This weekend I did another awesome urban explore at an old abandoned factory in town.  I’m not gonna share the exact location. You may think it’s ridiculous to not share the location of a place you’ve explored. It is an abandoned building after all, what’s the big deal?  The reason I don’t share location information …

Urbex: 102 Year Old Abandoned BC Copper Company Smelter Ruins

Did the coolest thing yesterday! I explored the BC Copper Company Smelter Ruins in Greenwood, British Columbia (BC). IT'S BEEN ABANDONED FOR 102 YEARS! The weather on Big White (Mountain) called for rain all day, that was the perfect opportunity for a day trip! Initially planned to head to Penticton, BC and the weather was …
