One of the mighty churches to stand on the grounds of the historic town of Barkerville. The bright blue sky came out that day for just a small moment.

During the previous weekend, we engaged in another captivating adventure, inspecting the route to Paris and adjacent mines for potential future exploration on a sunny, cooler day. I greatly relish capturing photographs to document the structures and the gradual effects of Mother Nature's degradation on them annually.

Celebrated my birthday with Greenwood Tours and a fantastic group. The storm that ended the tour was the perfect finishing touch, making it even more eerie. Thanks, Maureen, for another great experience. I'll be back next year with another group! Greenwood Tours

During my two-week road trip in the Kootenays in August 2018, a year before starting my work journey in Sandon, I experienced some pretty intense fires. I remember taking this photo of the old liquor warehouse and an old residence, which had an eerie appearance.

I would not a bit mind sleeping in the cool grass in summer, and when winter came on sheltering myself by the warm close-thatched rick, or under the penthouse of a great barn, provided I had love in my heart.

With a heavy heart in our wheeling community, we’ve lost a great adventurer a great human being and a lover of the outdoors.
This is not a normal post for this page, but we want everyone to know that Malcolm will be dearly missed by his loved ones and his fellow adventurers. I didn’t get a chance to know him personally very well, but we followed each other and our journeys and adventures I adored watching his perspective and how he caught moments and the smiles he brought to others.
Rest easy, good sir. I’m sure you are wheeling mountain tops that we could only dream of and I know you will be riding shotgun with all your fave people today we send love to his family and friends.
If you don’t know who Malcolm is head on over to YouTube and watch Crimson off-road to see the beautiful things that he captured and the fun that he brought to everyone. 🏔️🫶😞

Sometimes you just have to run away for a few days and connect with nature. We had no idea where we were or where we were going but it didn’t really matter because the payoff of the view was worth it 💕❤️🏔️🗻 .ashes

Such a sad moment I’m glad tho that I took sooo many pictures on my last visit 💕

🚧 Deconstruction of White Grain Elevator Begins 🚧

🏗️ Due to immediate safety concerns, Columbia Basin Trust has begun the careful deconstruction of Creston's white grain elevator. While it's a tough decision, our priority is community safety. We'll be salvaging valuable first-growth timbers and historic equipment to preserve and repurpose them for future projects.

🎉 We are immensely proud of the successful conservation of the red grain elevator, ensuring it stands strong as a community landmark for years to come.

📣 Stay tuned for updates as we work closely with the community to honour the legacy of the white elevator and explore new uses for the site.

📸 Historic documentation and display signage will be created to commemorate this iconic structure.

Learn more about our conservation efforts at ourtrust.org/creston.
