    people arent aware of how many abandoned towns and stuff there really are, i live in newfoundland and theres abandoned towns all over. I found an abandoned highway one time completely overgrown, and a native indian settlement a mere 20 feet off of a moose trail completely untouched, you could tell because the tree poles were setup in kind of a circle and collapsed in a criss-cross pattern , like they used to be tepees but collapsed the wood was basically rotten and disintegrated though. its crazy what you can find a hundred feet off the roads in some places.

    I would love to find something like that, that's amazing. It's very hard to find something no one really knows about but what you describe sounds about as close as you can get!

    Hummm. While there is lots of history there, I'm not aware of any abandoned places that I could explore.

    @@AbandonedCapeBreton that’s true. Open Hearth Park has open abandoned industrial buildings, and there’s that one on dorchester st such a weird location for an abandoned building. I doubt that it’s open now but there was a time it was. There’s a convertible beetle in the basement
