Ashcroft Manor Off The Trans Canada Highway Near Cache Creek British Columbia (5 - Pictures)


Above Photo: The Ashcroft Manor.

This heritage site is one that I have driven by dozens of time and I have never stopped in. It seems I was always in a rush to get to Langley or back home here in Houston, British Columbia. 

In early November I made the stop and I am so happy I did. What a gorgeous building and all the buildings on the site. 

The two Elm trees that are in front of the Manor were shipped all the way from England as seedlings and are over 100 years old. 

The Ashcroft Manor is approximately 10 kilometers south from Cache Creek directly off of the Trans Canada Highway.

Coquihalla Highway And The Great Bear Snow Shed In British Columbia (Pictures)


Above Photo: The Great Bear snow shed seen from the north end.

For those who have never driven the Coquihalla Highway, you are missing some fabulous scenery and you should make a point of traveling on the Highway. Winter though can put a damper on the drive as the summit gets heavy snowfall and ice. You just have to keep an eye on the weather reports.

I have a lot photos and information to post from our recent trip through British Columbia, so do drop back to check it out.

Williams Lake To Prince George British Columbia Old Buildings Along Highway 97 (Pictures)


Above Photo: Between Williams Lake and Prince George, British Columbia along Highway 97.

Continuing on from our last trip south to Kamloops and then onto Langley, British Columbia in November 2015 we spotted a lot more older buildings. There was a good number of sites I was not able to stop at, as we wanted to get home before it got dark and I still had a long way to travel.

I did manage to take some pictures of a number of other buildings, the ones posted here, and a couple of others along Highway 97. I also stopped and spent some time at a rest stop and I took a stack of photos of the 108 Mile House heritage site.

Mural Paintings In Burns Lake British Columbia (Pictures)


Above Photo: Bull Moose and Fisherman.

I am really glad I decided to film the mural paintings that I find in towns across British Columbia. In each of the paintings, they illustrate some of the history of a town, or what can be found in and around each area, such as the wildlife, in this case two Moose. 

In this same mural, you see a fisherman who has hooked into a good fighting fish. In and around Burns Lake there are approximately 20 lakes close to the town, and around 300 lakes in the district. All of the lakes have fish in them.

In the other mural it shows a First Nations person with a fire, but more than that, it shows that the First Nations People had settled throughout the area so long ago.

So I will certainly keep taking pictures to shed a little light on what communities have to offer.

Buildings Filmed Between Houston And Burns Lake British Columbia (Pictures)


Above Photo: I don’t believe the buildings are very old, but they looked really interesting and made for a nice picture.

We always try to keep a lookout for something nice to film. On one of our recent drives out to Burns Lake, British Columbia we spotted some buildings in an open field. 

They looked interesting so I stopped the car and walked into the field and took a number of pictures.

Did Two Women Become Pregnant During A Missing Time Event On Highway 101 In Oregon USA


From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

Date:  October 1967
Time:  Evening.

I just spent two hours writing this report and just as I was going to hit the send button, zap it got taken. I tried to recover it, but to no avail. I'll try again.

OK, now it's later still and I totally re-wrote it and tried to save it to draft, but it only saved the first half. This is hard work when the computer is playing games with me. So here I go again.

It was 1967, I was 15, my sister was 17, and although we didn't know it yet, we were both pregnant. It could be that we became pregnant during that journey.

We were traveling north from California and were into Oregon on Highway 101 (The Coast Highway). It was nighttime and dark out and extremely foggy.

The highway was only two lanes and very narrow without pull-outs or passing lanes. The west side of the road was a sheer drop down to the ocean.

There was a nice arched two foot tall stone fence built during the depression by government workers to keep cars from inadvertently plunging off into the sea. The opposite side (east) went nearly vertical up a rock cliff face.

We were in a 1955 Chevy car that my boyfriend and I had bought in Winnipeg, Canada. He was driving and I was in the front seat. My sister was behind me and her boyfriend was behind mine.

We had been behind a log truck for a hundred miles, with no opportunity to pass, because of weather and road conditions. My boyfriend was growing impatient as he had a job that he needed to get back to. He decided to take the risk of passing, even though we wouldn't be able to see if there was an oncoming car due to the curves on that twisting treacherous road.

We hadn’t seen another automobile for the last two hours. Against my will and with my teeth gritted, he proceeded to pass. Just as the logging truck was completely on our right side, and our vehicle was about  3/4 a car length ahead of him,  an eye-stabbing bright white light engulfed our car.

It came through the front windshield. I was looking forwards and upwardly through the windshield and it seemed closer than the front of the car.

I braced for the impact that in reality should already have occurred, but in that very same instant, we were in the next town which had been still 30 miles away and it was two hours later in the evening.

My sister said she had closed her eyes when she first saw the light and hadn't reopened them until we were safe.

For whatever reason and by whatever means, we were saved that dark foggy October night in 1967.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Hey Brian, last night was of course Valentines Day and myself and my wife of nine years were coming home from Golden Corrall and we seen a single orange glowing light hovering over the center of the road.

Location in which happened: Lexington, South Carolina. Hwy 6 between Platt Springs and Bethany Church road. Again, thank you so much.
