RETALLACK
Is a ghost town, located on Highway #31A halfway between Kaslo and New Denver in British Columbia's famed "Valley of the Ghosts". Retallack, (pronounced (Re-till-ick), was originally known as Bells Camp and had a population of 300 residents, due to the town being near several known and key mines in the area. Retallack also had amenities including several stores and hotels, a post office, a school, barber shop, and had a small sawmill built in the 1900s but unfortunately the mill was destroyed by a fire and never rebuilt. Mining continued here until the late 1960s, when the company that ran the mines ceased operations in which Retallack became an ghost town almost overnight. There are still signs of life here, including a couple of historic buildings, a lodge and a small heli-skiing operation.
