Not an "offroad destination" but interesting nonetheless!!!
Was just recently used as the site for the A team movie, has a huge history with a curse and looks like it could carry out that curse!! haha, its being torn down and built upon currently however for the few who knew about it, i hope it lives on.
Just recently i had the privilidge (or curse) of going through the entire site building by building, through all of the underground tunnels, the power building, etc on halloween night with a full moon... bloody scary i tell ya! anyways for those who dont know about it...

In short- was a large TB hospital, turned into a self contained city of sorts creating its own power, laundry, even newspaper, seperated from kamloops,
Then unconfirmed but several people who have lived here for years say the military purchased the area and surrounding hills somewhere in the 80s, then gave it up, and ya its been vacant since, is now just turning into a resort of sorts. Its a very freakishly intriguing place to explore so ya, just thought i would pass on the info!
Oh and the ghost stories continue... this was just taken from a random posting site,
"you want to hear something interesting....
i live in the city of kamloops, 2 weeks before the owner commited suicide my father and i rode our bikes out there during the day and got the chance to talk to him. my paps jokingly asked if he had seen any ghosts? his answer was, "i can feel them when i sleep, they surround me, they dont want me hear anymore" he also showed us his plans to make it into a tourist site...anyway we dident take it seriously until we saw his name in the paper and the suicide part. well got me interested in the place. i've been out there a few times looking around, and i'm going again tonight. anyway write me back if you have any questions. oh yah and send me some info if you can cause i cant get the posting you have here."
