Lytton isn't very far from where the TransMountain pipeline is being constructed
Never got a chance to see it before it burned, but have driven alongside it a couple times since (it's right on BC Hwy 1). You'd be able to look down from the highway and see the whole thing, except that it's cordoned off with slatted chainlink fence. What little I could see while driving by and peeking in the cracks was surreal.
