A real Ghost Town,
just a short drive from Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.
Has a survivor in the form of an old General Store over one hundred years old!
Bring the kids as a farm and petting zoo is also on site. No need to pack a lunch as a small, family priced restaurant is just off site with home made berry pies you'll dream about later.
Ghost Towns are usually far from the lower mainland in out of the way places. If your a history buff or want to be, this place is a great day trip. Ghost Towning is a great hobby and is finding a whole new generation of enthusiasts.
Our wooden Ghost Towns will not last forever so go and see them now...

2014 Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival - Harrison Mills, BC, Canada
Harrison the bald eagle hosts this overview of the 2014 Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival, held each year along the banks of the Harrison River in British Columbia's beautiful Fraser Valley.
Every November, thousands of bald eagles migrate south from Alaska, stopping along the way to feast on the salmon that come up the Fraser and Harrison Rivers.
A highlight of the festival is the release, at The Sandpiper Golf Course, of a young eagle that was rescued and rehabilitated.
One of the festival's popular locations is beautiful Tapadera Estates, where over 2,000 visitors came to view the eagles out on the flats this year.

Kilby Provincial Park

Campground Flooding in BC, Canada
The RV Park we've been staying in is directly on the Harrison River in the Fraser Valley of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Over the past couple of weeks, the water in the Harrison & Fraser Rivers has risen to its highest level in 40 years and many area campgrounds are partially or completely submerged. There have been floods like this before, but not for quite some time.
We drove to several campgrounds today, including Matsqui Trail Regional Park on the Fraser River in the metro Vancouver region between Abbotsford & Mission, and Kilby Park campground at the Kilby Historic site in Harrison Mills. We also paddled our canoe through the parking lot of our own park, also in Harrison Mills. We tried to visit one other nearby park, but all the RVs have been evacuated and the gate is locked.
There are reports of flooding in many parts of the BC Lower Mainland, including here in the Fraser Valley. Chilliwack and other areas are affected by the Fraser River, and we're of course affected by the flooding on the Harrison River.
Luckily for us, our RV park is on a hill and we're at the top of it. Only the very lowest-lying sites have been directly affected, where you can canoe from the Harrison River right up the boat ramp and into the parking lot, which we did. We're hoping for fewer rainy days and abating of flood waters soon. Lower temperatures would help as well, slowing the snowmelt in the surrounding Coast Mountains.
