Real Adventure Time! 1 URBAN ADVENTURE June 15 2008

Hey whats up guys?
SWEET, Want an adventure this summer? Haha I found a place!... i found a few actually, want to know where they are? About an hour away from Saskatoon, a few are on the way to Regina... I have them on google maps, Just pick and we go. There Ghost towns.

What are ghost towns?
The Oxford dictionary describes ghost towns as communities that are in a state of abandonment or partial abandonment.

The Closest one to Saskatoon is called Smuts, (Grant No. 372.) Altho i don't think it exists. If we go a little further there is one I know exists ,Its called ALVENA.
Here are some pictures guys, tell me if your interested.
OH wait.. Alvena isn't a ghost town... I checked the Census, (doing my homework on this) Theres actually 91 people 49 guys and 43 girls
