Algonquin Adventures / Beckwith Cabins Wabakimi P.P. Youtube Test

**Posted by Rob H** 8/12/2015 12:21 am

A test of posting Youtube video.
This is unedited video of my walk throught the beckwith Cabins on Best Island Whitewater lake Wabakimi P.P.
Mr Beckwith was found on the rock landing the Summer of 1980, having suffered from what is beleiverd to be a heart attack and the cabins have sat empty ever since, left to return to the Earth.

Edit: Well that worked well. Clicked on the Youtube button at the top of the message window and pasted the URL of the video from my browsers address bar.
Nice.

Have yet to discover if we can move a total post to another category. At this point we are all in 'discovery mode'. If we do adopt this new forum, all these non-Algonquin and trial posts will be deleted anyway.

Thanks Guys. Peek I thought you might be interested in this, takes an old cabin to a new level. I also took some pictures of an old abandoned camp that has been empty since the late 70's.
Living there would have been different. By what I gather, with the help of the locals he looked after the properties during the Summer and retreated to the snail for the Winter to conduct his research.
It was an unusual feeling standing at the landing and realizing that I was standing pretty much where they found him after suffering what was believed to be a heart attack.
