| Welcome to our "in search of history" page. This is one of several sections of our website. This page was created to showcase our finds while exploring remote historical and scenic sites in the Pacific Northwest. Our explorations would later branch out as we began to explore and research abandoned railroads. For all of our abandoned railroad articles, photos and videos, please visit my seperate page dedicated to Active & Abandoned Railroads of the Pacific Northwest. This page is dedicated mostly to our research and exploration of other historical sites, including, but not limited too, abandoned mines, ghost towns, mine and logging camps, homesteads, and fire lookouts, as well other historical and scenic sites of interest. All comments, content contributions or questions are more than welcome. please Email me anytime. I Hope you enjoy the site. Brian McCamish Gresham, Oregon USA |
