What an awesome trip today up to Ocean Falls! We saw a pod of 5 gray whales when we turned into Fisher Channel. They were blowing and surfacing and tail slapping. I tried to get some pictures, but of course the pics I did get turned out all blurry and the every time one of the whales slapped a tail I was too late with the shutter. I tried to convince Ben to circle around so I could get more pics, but no go.
Ocean Falls is an old deserted timber/mining community, there is a dam here that supplies power to the islands and a big lake behind it. There is also a bunch of old deserted buildings from the sawmill and mining days, it looks like an old ghost town. Pretty COOL. A old school, old 7 or 8 story hotel, and an old 7 story apartment building, a bunch of old houses. It looks like one day everyone just picked up and left. Weird. Wonder if any ghosts are still hanging around? Ben and I walked through the old apartment building, it was pretty creepy. I loved it!
We walked up to the dam with the dogs, they enjoyed the exercise and getting off the boat.
There is also a cast stature of a mermaid on the water when you first pull into the docks, the story is that a local made it to honor his granddaughter who disappeared when she was 15, it happened years ago. Very cool.
We are staying here a couple of days. We are on the docks so we have power and water for a change. I'm glad, I was tired of fishing anyway and I wanna take my ghost detector up to the hotel and see if I can find any ghosts! COOL
