a few years ago i drove up to the NWT to visit some family, and i made a side-trip to Pine Point.
i hadn't seen it for over 30 years - the very last time i had seen it, the entire town was being hauled away by semi trucks carrying bungalows on trailers.
when we arrived, i couldn't recognize any of it. what had been hundreds of concrete foundations and asphalt had been replaced entirely by millions of poplar trees and wild grasses. i could barely make out the pavement beneath it as new saplings erupted through it and turned the road into rubble.
eventually i stumbled upon the foundation of the pine point hotel - it had been completely backfilled to prevent people from exploring it. but one area - near the employee bathrooms as it turned out - had collapsed, and opened a hole to the surface.
i turned on my camera and crawled inside the hole.
i've never shown anyone this video. i'm not sure why. it felt disrespectful i guess - like a kind of voyeurism. but today - four years to the day i recorded it - i realized that no one else might ever get to see the pine point hotel basement.
so here are a few minutes of my exploration, completely silent aside from the sounds of my feet. forgive me for not providing a strong play-by-play in the alt description, but i'm still baffled by the many broken things i saw in there. maybe you'll have better eyes for it.
edit: if your instance can't load the video (some have file size limits) - you can view it directly here:

I've had the privilege of being able to retire early from a wonderful career in aerospace and software engineering. The past few years I've struggled to feel passion for a next phase in that area. What has been drawing me has been history of various sorts. I've been feeling the urge to deep dive further on some topics like: food/nutrition history, exercise science history, and computer history. That draw combined with the apparent need to use these big tech AI tools makes me think that perhaps the time is to stop trying to make "fetch" happen with looking for my spark in my traditional industries and starting a Phase 2 of my life focused on a (probably) financially thankless but very fulfilling career as a "professional" historian. I'm still working out what that practically looks like. #history #ai #software -
