Date Posted: 20:31:38 03/24/04 Wed In reply to: Wapiti 's message, "Ghost Town Expedition" on 23:40:19 03/23/04 Tue Proabably later in the summer, unless we want to do a study on blackflies. It really depends on what the objective is. I was originally thinking of finding lost mining towns and mines, but most of the locations are known. Then I thought about mapping locations of any structures in a given town, but most of the buildings are gone. If someone can come up with an objective, I'll make it work. >Great to see some new blood working on an expedition. >You the man. This would make a great area on the web >site. I believe a lot of people would use the info. >Plus it would be a lot of fun.
