“Why are you so old?” ~ Gru

Another lazy Sunday afternoon watching the icky snowfall from last night melt. Everything is drip dripping away outside and I’m in research paradise with 6 books and a DVD of Ghost Town history. The one thing that concerns me so far is that all this information has become as old as these towns were at the time the books were written. Are any of these places still worth having a peek at? Are the buildings in their photos still standing 45 – 50 years later? These books were all that was available at the library but there is still a wealth of information available online, I just wanted to start with a traditional method before jumping full-on into the new.I have also come to realize that the vast majority of these places are 5 – 6hrs south of me and will require a weekend trip rather than a day trip to get to. On the upside quite a few are fairly close together. On these trips I plan on stopping to check out anything abandoned that I find along the way as well, which will add time to the travel of course. If you read this and you have any suggestions of places I should see in Alberta than kindly drop me a line and I’ll add them to my growing list. #Alberta #Abandoned #Ghosttown #Photography #touristinmyownprovince #old #research #planning #plannerUntil next time,Tim
