I first saw this abandoned farm in June of 1974 while I was working for the BC Forest Service in Kamloops. At that time there were two barns and the horse shelter at the site. At some time in the past ten years the North Thompson River eroded the river bank and one barn fell into the river.
I have wanted to get a photo of this barn for over 44 years. Circumstances have always prevented me. I only rarely travel this road, when I do it was often dark or overcast. For the last two years there was road construction north and south of the site, pulling off the road while travelling in a stream of cars, logging trucks, commercial transport trucks and campers would have been a bit crazy. Even for me
Last week I was able to safely stop. Not the optimal conditions, however the river may claim these structures in the next few years so I decided to at least try. I will try again for better shots if conditions are better and the opportunity arises.
