Welcome to BC Explorer

Introduction

Welcome Visitors

We have decided to create this site to allow individuals to share information about some of the historic and interesting sites in the Pacific Northwest.

We hope to see this site evolve into a repository of information on the many odd and interesting places that grace the landscape of the Pacific Northwest

As a self described UE, and Research Hobbyist, this site allows me to share with the world all that I have learned about the fascinating places that surround my humble abode.

I derive no income from this endeavor, it is strictly an expensive hobby. Share the knowledge of the world, and you give a gift no one can deny.

Thanks for visiting, Checkout the site, send us an email through the Contact Form and let us know your thoughts
