Vernon Pick's ghost still walks the halls of Walden North! I know this for certain as I met him during the night when I stayed in his bedroom while all alone at the mansion. It happened during the first of my many adventures to Walden North. Since then, upon learning everything I could about this most amazing man, he has become my ultimate hero and someone that I hold in the highest of regards! He was one of the most intelligent men of our time. Very few people are aware of what an incredible person Vernon Pick truly was! Walden North & Vernon Pick (in spirit) deserve so much more respect than what they have been given. Walden North is a very special place indeed. It is a part of our Canadian history that also has a very interesting story that needs shared. One day, I hope that Walden North will become officially nominated as a 'Canadian National Historic Site'.

Hello Dustin I read about Pick and Walden North in the seventies while living in Vancouver, BC and on impulse contacted him and was invited for a visit. Pick graciously walked the property with my wife and I at one point, stopping in the shop to show us a wood lathe that he had invented that cut spirals. Cool Guy! In those days pretty close to what I imagined doing with $10 million! LOL Sorry no gopros in those days. Thanks for the video.

Wow, was I surprised to find this video today. My dad had worked for Vernon Pick while his mansion was being built. His job was to take care of equipment maintenance around the machine shop for Mr. Pick, who I was able to meet briefly a couple of times (I was 9 years old). I was able to go to the property a couple of times and I remember the inclined railroad. I can't recall if I was able to go on it, but it was impressive to a young boy. Mr. Pick was definitely a bit eccentric, and my dad only worked with him for a couple of months. I somehow recall that there was discussions of our family living on the property as caretakers (not living in the mansion though), but that didn't materialize as there was some disagreement with my dad and Mr. Pick and his employment ended. Thanks again for sharing this.

I believe I visited in the mid to later 1950's not sure exactly, but I had a great time on the visit. I'm not really sure but I think Vernon bought a plane from my grandfather or at least they were discussing the topic on the first trip I took there. This brings back memories I haven't touched in a long long time.

If the mansion was built as a retreat from the nuclear apocalypse and its aftermath I would have thought that somewhere along the build a fallout shelter or bunker in case of a hostile attack would have been incorporated, but then it would have been a secret so it could be hidden in plain sight and the only person that knew how to enter it has passed, it could be an amazing time capsule for someone to find one day.

I hit your video today because I found a carving in the header of an old mine camp cabin up in our cattle range "Vern P 1958", and I wanted to check out the timeline.

(2)" And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.; (3) The GOD of my rock; in Him will I trust: He is my shield, and the horn of my Salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Saviour, thou savest me from VIOLENCE. (4) I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be SAVED FROM mine ENEMIES." ... want to know why this country has destruction coming to her? And YES its coming. Thats THUS SAITH THE LORD, and it cannot fail. ... let's find it in the Word of God.... In the book of Psalms 9: 17.. "The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that FORGET GOD." The ONLY WAY to Jesus Christ is obeying what He tells us in ACTS 2:38, Just after the 120 came out of the Upper Room from being filled with the Holy Ghost power from God, Peter and the rest of Christ' Apostles, were asked the question, "Men and brethren What must we do?" Then Peter, being the spokesman, (verse 38), said, REPENT and BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU in the Name of JESUS CHRIST for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the HOLY GHOST" God is a Spirit, never was a fleshly being... when JESUS Christ was virgin born and ascended, then God embodied Himself in that body, therefore putting Him- Jesus Christ in Charge(right hand of authority). Acts 2:38 is the ONLY PLAN OF SALVATION ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. Acts 4:12 Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under Heaven given among men , whereby we MUST BE SAVED." So you pay ONLY to the Lord Jesus Christ !! So there you have it straight from God's Eternal Word!! Not some denomination, the pope, or any such like. Any Bible question will always have a Bible answer in the King James Bible, not the revised versions which have been changed a little here and a little there.! Have a wonderful day and God bless. : ))

What I don't understand is why people would just destroy something so interesting and historic as this place.

Back in the early 1970s, my Dad was hired along with a small swarm of other guys at the local bar to serve as human cable layers. In order to connect the shop complex to the dam, the electricians needed to lay some heavy cable alongside the penstock, and they decided to hire a bunch of random guys to lay and guide the cable while the electricians secured and terminated it. I like Vernon Pick's old gun rack. Some very fine carpentry right there.

Great video and thanks for keeping it classy. I love watching these abandon videos but don't watch the ones where people feel the need to cuss. You do great work and I agree with you that people need to stop trashing these places. Be safe!!

very cool story behind it, someone should restore that place before it returns to the wild completely.

That is amazing! I'm from prince George and drive through there to Vancouver quite often. That place would be heaven to me! Great work.

This is a perfect example of what many refer to as a "crying shame." Very interesting story. It really is sad that the family you referred to isn't doing anything along the line of restoration. Not only would a place like this be a treasure with regard to history, but completely restoring a home such as this would be a terrific investment for the family. That is, if the family is/are indeed the current owners of this real estate. After all, you'd be very hard pressed to find a home that even remotely resembles this place. Plus, you'd be totally prepared for whatever horrible revenge mother nature decides to leash upon mankind for all the years that we've abused our environment. Just saying...
