Jasek, What was the police line for?

Jaszek · Apr 7, 2009

It was just laying there. I heard they want to open up the pool again. It is closed down because about 9 years ago a girl drowned in it and since then its been closed. But they are planning to reopen it, and also they make concerts there also. As for being back to the police line, I also saw a water hose in there, the one that the firefighters use.

Hmm They closed the entire pool because a girl drowned?! Isn't that what lifeguards are for?!

I've never seen anything like it...

I came across this house that had been abandoned since, apparently, 2004.. It was a mess. Vandals had ransacked the place. It was a sad sight, both inside and out, and I'd love to know the story behind it.

They just walked away.... I've never seen anything like it.

I did a ghost hunt here two weeks ago. You can see the history here, complete with before and after the renovations began. http://eldredhouse.com

Very spooky place, for sure.

Nice shooting Cereal.
Was that army base the one in Gravenhurst? And is the Old boys jail the one near Uxbridge. I was thinking of trespassing there soon.
I got into Camp 30, before it was surrounded by security. What a trip.

The army base was actually closer to Barrie or Orillia. Right in the middle sort of. I wasn't aware of anything near Gravenhurst except for an asylum, Yes, the old boys jail is near Uxbridge and if your thinking of going there soon, I suggest you move fast as they closed most of the holes in the fence and also welded all doors and windows shut. I was going to try came 30 but its a bit far for being such a small place. I also wasnt aware it had security there.

....k...I know where that is then. I have not tried the Gravenhurst gig yet, or the Uxbridge one. Camp 30 got too popular, cause of the newspaper article. I heard the OPP use that Orillia place for training now.
Then some people set some fires. I was there the day after the news article, and got into 3 buildings, and the basements. I think there are some pics here a few pages back.
I also plan to get in the Sundial inn. I found 2 openings, but had my dog with me.
There is also and abandoned Hotel on 427, on the west side, but I could not find an opening.
In the last week, I got into that abandoned inn/Gas station on hwy 11 in Oro...that was cool. Also found some great ol houses that are open up Hwy 48, and 169. Another cool shoot is the Coopers Falls ghost town, but there are still some residents hanging around there watching.
I have a ton to post, but just have not had the time. :er:

Oh wow, seems like you are really into this stuff. maybe you should check out uer.ca as it's all about this Urban Exploration (aka abandonments) and it has its own Ontario forum which is pretty cool. I have been to alot of places but still so so many to check out!

yeah....I have gotten into it more over the last two years. I was in Georgetown today, but the weather was so crap. I wanted to find that abandoned building along the river. I think it was a brick company too.
Im on Uer too. I also joined Ghost Towns of Ontario. Some cool places out there, not enough time to find them. :er:
I have a gallery on my web site that I have been working on, dedicated to abandoned places.
