| | Dane, Ontario (Samurai's Heaven) < on 11/12/2008 5:34 AM >
| | | Dane, Ontario began as a small railway settlement near Kirkland Lake. It's importance was due to being the closest railway stop where miners and prospectors alike could disembark to make their way through the trails to the gold fields. When the gold rush ended and the farmers moved on, Dane became not such a great Dane... and fell off the map. Today it is a wasteland for derelict vehicles and a handful of weathering original homes. The old motel was levelled last year for safety reasons. It can be classified as a ghost town. UE DB to follow in due time. 1.

Yah I did them without much thought put into it. I'll have to go through the bunch and decide what to put into the DB. Hell no I don't mind, UE is all about the spirit of co-operation.

| | | Nice pics. So in pic #8, those houses in the background, are they all empty? Like there are so older cars there but they don't seem too old. Like #4, I know people who would drive that around, why do they leave it?

The lack of wheels would make it a rather harsh ride I'd think. I dunno, I'm just a mechanic...

There are perhaps eight homes along the road, half occupied and half abandoned. Why the cars were left there, I surmise that as one becomes older and unable to tend to your property, that you use it as a dumping ground for your unwanted vehicles and trailers. Given more daylight time, there was talk of some early 1900's vehicles in the bush that we needed to see.

| | | For some reason I'm really enjoying #6. I'm also seeing a lot of similarities in your photos and mine. I guess I'm learning a little after all, now if only I could get that 'glossy' look that yours have. Another nice set all around!

No, probably not. One could assume it involved something like going off like a firehose? For the curious, the DB entry is http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=27828

While exploring that house, a truck pulled into the driveway. A worn looking fellow asked what we were doing there. I explained that we were just taking photos, not stealing or vandalizing. This seemed to appease him and he said that the owner didn't like people who caused problems on the property. Having been reassured that our intentions were good, he let us continue on our exploration. It's a small community, very small so if anyone does venture into this neck of the woods you can almost certainly expect the same visit unless you hide your vehicle. A useless bit of trivia for you.
