In Search Of Niddrie - Avenger Plane Crash Summer 2011 Part 1

Part 1 of our little adventure in the Summer of 2011 on the old Honda's where we go in search of an old railroad town called Niddrie. The town seems to be mostly abandoned now except for a few buildings and camps. By the looks of things, it must be visited quite regularly though as everything seems to be well kept. The town was only accessible by railroad or float plane I suppose but you can now drive within a half mile or so and walk in. If anyone has any further info about Niddrie, please feel free to share it! In Part 2 of this video, we go further up the road to a plane crash site. This is the second time we have been there. We have enclosed links to our first visit where you could see more of the crashed plane. The plane that crashed is an Avenger that had been converted for firefighting duty. The Avenger crashed about 35 miles Northwest of Dryden Ontario in 1971 while fighting a forest fire. Fortunately the pilot was ok, but had quite a story to tell. You can read all about it in an article we found from The Ottawa Citizen at the following link: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19710604&id=qccyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ruwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1156,1333027 Be sure to watch part 2 where we go to the actual crash site of the Avenger.
