This was such a cool old house. There used to be acres and acres of old cars and farm machinery back in the 70's

Another coincidence as I passed this home last Saturday, but my friend was in a rush to get home so we didnt stop to peak..

OK I have one final gem to share with you Kent. This one is OLDER than all the rest. It looks like and old wooden sawmill behind some trees and beside a small creek on Lakeshore Rd in Clarington, Durham Region. Take Lakeshore past Port Granby and then past the 2 main tracks (where the CP and CN lines converge) and then keep heading west. Eventually on the south side is this beautiful wooden struct

The location of the cemetery with the steps is Glanmire, which is south of Murphy Corners and north of Millbridge. Read about Glanmire to get more info about the church. I love those last 2 photos and am trying to guess where those were located as I never saw them from Millbridge to Umfraville. I am guessing they must have been from the top end or low end of the Old Hastings Rd.

Holy smokes..I never checked this one out as I was sure it was lived in.

Is this cool mine near the Kick and Push Trail? Was it an iron mine?

A ghost town can be a town whose population is considerably less than it once was. This village had 5 streets and now just 2. It is a semi-ghost town. Even the locals considered it as such..

Ya the Murray Mine firetower was one of the strangest towers in the Ontario Dept of Lands and Forests system of 320 towers. This tower overlooked bare rock in the 1960s as the trees had all been killed by acid rain from the mines. I still dont know why they would have used a forest firetower on bare land. Maybe to protect any further damage?

A.P. McDonald (the postmaster) owned a farming lot just north of Millington on what is today called Highway 12. Yes the highway did exist in the 1880's. Check this link for proof. http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/images/maps/townshipmaps/ont-m-Mara.jpg You can see where the old Millington schoolhouse is marked just south of his farm.

Port Hoover was located at what is called today "Newmans Beach". It did have a population according to the old Mariposa Township map. Fingerboard, however, was located 2 concessions west and 1 concession north. It appears on modern maps but is unsigned on the roads there (since it has disappeared of course). The 2 hamlets obviously were connected by a close proximity.

The tunnel entrance is EASY to find if you know what to look for. Drive on Glendale Ave ( Lock 3 Bridge) east over the canal.Turn at the first left called SLSA Service Rd. and continue left. It will actually circle under Glendale Ave. Drive up to the railroad bridge and park there. The gates get locked so don't park past them. Continue walking up this road. There is a road going right and a moun

I have to check this place out sometime. Thanks for posting. It looks like it is the best kept secret for finding old ruined log cabins.

A friend of mine brought me here years ago and it has always been an insperation of love for me and I have always told people about it. It has always just been I'm my memory so it is great to see it again.

I haven't been their, but I heard about this place in the farm newspapers: http://www.betterfarming.com/online-news/judge-awards-more-17-million-teviotdale-dairy-lawsuit-260

I live a block from this place, and it is a beauty to walk around. Unfortunatly, fire distroyed the Studio which was going through some renovations.
