Parkhurst was a small logging town established in 1926 when the Barr Brothers Logging Company purchased the land. It quickly transformed into several small houses, bunkhouses and a steam powered mill with 70 loggers working and living there. The logging industry slowed down in the 1950's and in 1966 Parkhurst was finally abandoned and forgotten.

Jim Rossi No moose but Grizzly bears yes but not this time of year.

Silence N Beats , I know in North Maine we don’t have the brown bears (aka Grizzlies) but I have seen moose do some real damage but I take it you know BC better than myself and will take it from you , I wish I could have travel to BC when I was younger , looks so Beautiful !

Jim Rossi there are moose in BC but not around whistler. And Grizzly bears start from Squamish and North from there.

It's amazing that no matter how far away, or how remote something is, somebody's already found it and screwed it up by trashing it. Spray painters and windows breakers and garbage throwers. Very sad. Love your journeys, though! You have a calming, Matthew Broderick thing going for ya that makes watching easy. Peace

I grew up in rural Oklahoma on and next to large acreages that I spent a lot of time exploring with my dog. Once, we found an old abandoned school house that was 2 story, made of brick and mortar and the farmer who owned the land had no idea it was there. The courthouse did have records for it, but they were from when Oklahoma was The Indian Territory. From that day forward I had a never-ending dream of finding an entire ghost town or village in the woods. This is so cool.

@jimarsenault394 4 года назад

The first one looked like a Model A ford truck. When you don’t have nails you have to use ingenuity and joinery. There are temples in Japan 1000 years old made from wood with no nails.

@jackiedaytona8565 2 года назад

Love the dovetail joints on the last building. I don't think it's a root cellar since it was built with windows, but clearly something important enough that the builder took their time making those dovetails. I'm so curious what it was!

@rsuriyop 3 года назад

That last shack with the inter-locking cut wood was a truly great idea, especially if you happen to be in short supply of nails needed to build a house or similar structure.

@juliebraden6911 2 года назад

The wood could have been measured and somewhere else, then quickly and easily assembled on site.

@jackiedaytona8565 2 года назад

Dovetail joints are strong and they last. They take longer to build, but withstand the test of time! 😊

@the_beat_thief 2 года назад

That's as much of the history of a place as anything else. It always amazes me when people think "Jed was here" from 300 years ago is cool, but the same thing from 50 years ago is somehow different. Personally, I don't like the graffiti either - but it really is part of an abandoned place's history. I did like the graffiti on the inside of the truck though. It was kind of a connection to other people sitting there, maybe 10/20/30 years ago and older with each day.

@TheMonkeyBizzness 4 года назад

Hey, Chris. Welcome to Canada! I live in Port Moody, BC and there’s an area here (in nearby Anmore actually) that is somewhat of a ghost town. Old buildings and homes. Might be worth a visit for you if your around. Keep up the awesome work!

@TheMonkeyBizzness 4 года назад

It is the remnants of an old town that the workers of the IOCO plant (Imperial Oil Company). In fact there are even several homes that still have people living in them. Most are reduced to what’s left of the foundations and some are boarded up completely. Anyway, thought you’d be interested.

That tiny tire is a space saver spare commonly used in the 1980s and 90s. People would put them on old cars when they junked or abandoned them so they could keep the regular full sized tires for use on another vehicle. You could pick them up for a couple of dollars at garage/yard sales.

@donc9751 4 года назад

@@ellengallerani9836 Thanks for the info Ellen! LOL I've had no idea after all my years that so much wood was used in old vehicles! Kind of makes sense then as metallurgy and fabrication techniques had not come that far yet I suppose. I dont know which would be worse in an accident but I wouldnt want my body pierced by large broken shards of wood splinters! After awhile wood could rot but the old wood in those vehicles has stood the test of time and nature better than I would of guessed!

@annebeck58 4 года назад

Nowhere near deep enough for a root cellar. I would say it was either for dogs or chickens. Especially if there were shelves, in there, chickens. If no shelves, dogs.. people, up there, keep a lot of dogs. They are your heater, and your friend, and your transportation. I think these are huts. They are probably trail huts. You can find them on the east coast of USA, all along the Appalacian trail. My siblings and I have a few lots, on the Appalacian trail, in Connecticut, at a small lake, "Lake Plymouth". If you ever get up there (out there?) check it out. There will be many smaller, falling down, houses. It will mostly be trailer homes..
