Further to the previous post. The list of eighteen places I would like to get to this year. You can copy the numbers and paste them into the search box in Google or Bing Maps and it will take you to the location. A lot of times I find Bing has better definition and allows you to zoom in closer on the satellite view.

Most of these places are ghost towns or places that have disappeared. A couple have an official population of zero.
That sounds like a great idea to me.
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Travers in southern AB? My grandmother lived there and when I was young I stayed with her in the summer. A store, gas station, a railway (CPR) and mail. I don't think there's anything there anymore. Bald-headed prairie.
ReplyDeleteI have been there three times, once to the cemetery. These days Travers is a sad place. There is supposed to be a bank vault lying out in the open there. I have not seen it but it is one of those things I want to check into.
