Whatever shithead posted this need to turn up the volume
Sucks you can't even hear it
Watching this, after having an uneasy feeling that shtf is about to happen in between Nov 2024 to Summer 2025. A grid down scenario, spawns Lawlessness in the big cities. Self sufficiency, and away from big cities.... Oh well.
He married my great great great great (? not sure about how many greats) Aunt.

in the story that a young miner named Ed Lucas has left us, something in Kate’s generous nature inspired generosity. After he reached into his pocket to show her the cache of gold nuggets he had worked so hard to obtain, he said that with no forethought he found himself offering one of them To her her. She chose the largest. During her first year in Dawson alone, she accumulated $30,000, a small fortune then. One reason for her popularity must have been that she shared a great deal with the miners. Like them, she had known hard times, and like them, too, she loved the exhilarating mood of the Klondike. Since she arrived before the railway had a line into Dawson, she had come by boat up the five rapids. But because the river was thought to be dangerous for ladies there was a law against women taking this ride. Thus to avoid the Mounties, she dressed in boy’s clothes and jumped just as the boat pulled out, hitting the water before she was pulled aboard. Still, she found the journey, she said later, “perhaps the most exciting trip I ever made.” A tomboy as a girl, she loved driving her team of dogs over the frozen snow and in the summer months riding “wildly” on horseback out into the meadows. From her famous flame dance, it is easy to guess that there was some- thing else Kate must have shared with the miners. The elation that per- vaded the Yukon had another cause, more subtle, but still just as powerful as the desire for money. Gold is an old alchemical symbol. Perhaps because of its shine and the labor required for retrieving it, the metal is a metaphor not only for all that is superior but for the process of becoming better. Indeed, even the wish for a fortune is, on one level, the desire for a metamorphosis. Once wealthy, you believe, everything will change Your spirit finally will glitter, too. This would have been the vision Kate evoked as the drinking min- ers, tired from their work but happy to be in town, watched while she emerged from her cocoon, gauze suspended above her like wings, and cheered while they imagined divine grace had coupled with them, their spirits charged by the belief that they, too, were in the midst of transformation, their wildest dreams airborne
Talk about strange happenings in a small world… I watched this video last night after having moved to Merritt a year ago. I work landscaping and part way through this season we picked up a contract to care for the Nicola valley ranch office areas, which is old Nicola town. Today I’m weedeating around the small gift shop building when I was approached by an older couple of which the wife’s great grandfather and great uncle were pioneers of the town. Was so interesting being able to interact with a descendant of the little ghost town I’ve been drooling over the last couple months!
Imagine that fellows mules hauling him across that bridge. What history.
there's no known cure for GOLD FEVER

Original recording was in Mono. Adjust your speaker settings.
WOW
In 2003 a wildfire swept through the Myra-Bellevue protected area, destroying 12 of 16 wooden trestles and damaging two steel trestles. It cost $17 million to rebuild the destroyed trestles which was completed in 2008. However, the rebuilt replica trestles may look like the originals but they are not capable of handling trains.
4:17 my parents knew Bill and Lena Shaw of Shaw Springs and I remember us stopping in there when I was a kid in the 1960s.
Thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge . Is there any information about the Coal Creek area , specifically the # 9 mine up Coal Creek near Fernie ?
Love this snippet of our local history. Been there and this program answers many questions and opens many more . Thank you.
hahahaha..."a Chinese fellow came to his rescue and Beat Him Off..." hahahahahaa
Priceless. Thanks for posting.
well no one has hit it yet but people are still finding good gold there to this day
Was in Sandon last week. Very cool place to visit if you are into history. Great scenery, great history, great food (there is a food truck restaurant), and really nice people.
I have been in that valley many times we did fined some fine gold here and there we were just panning
I was in Frank in 1989 and it is unreal how big some of the rocks are and yes stopping there you get an uneasy feeling it was really something to see and I use to watch this show when it was on tv
Is Mike still alive?
May i ask, the year this video was made? Thank you muchly.
Just remember gentlemen that the Okanogan overburden is the result of the worldwide Noah's Flood! Those two Ogden tins are chicken feed compared the Glories of Christ! He is the Motherlode! Cheers..
have they ever found the lost Cliffmere
I just heard Silverton is surrounded by forest fires from the south, west, and north of the village. I pray it remains unharmed.
Mike Roberts N bill barley late 80s wow
Can you fix the volume?
What's up with the Poisonous Black Sand in the River and on the Beaches !. I hear if you want to get sick just walk barefoot on the Beaches up in Northport, WA. You can thank those Canadians for the Smelter Dumping toxic Slug into the Columbia River.
Bill has a great story about former " Hole in the wall gang" guy who was doing B&Es in Union Bay. Might of been a story about BC Police Force. Can't find it, anyone know of it?
The volume is so low I'm using CC, interesting its interpretation, I'll have to look at a map to get the right names😂
When these shows were “recent” I watched them on the coast, from the Kelowna station I think. Now I live outside Nelson so it’s nice to see these again.
We are lacking in this type of broadcasting today. Thanks for posting.

GREAT HISTORY_ RIGHT IN OUR BACK YARD!
The attraction of the area to me is sun and water in the summer. I don't care about gold.
I visited sandon bc June 2024. I sat on a trolley I’d driven in 1977 in Vancouver bc. Great memories ❤
Good old show.
Incredible comb over
Always thought it was wrong to abandon this line myself.
I worked with a man on the icbc building in n Vancouver in 73 or 74 that found a mine up there about 2 yrs later must have done well as he withdrew and retired fron the union at that time.
There's still good ore there it's just to deep and hot to work it
Church, natives residential schools,doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened particularly ugly history there in that valley .
Been my favorite area since I was a young boy.
Closed her a few years back now.talk of a parallel find a bit ago but nothing ive heard since.
..the characters fade out and ....and the country endures! Fascinating Thompson River area!
Back when you could still call them "indians".. lol.
Penticton Indian Band, guess you still can.
These are the best programs love this history these 2 are a treasure them self's 🏆
Been there
